Environmental Impacts of Energy Use and Power Production
Nuclear Energy Agency
Basic human well-being depends on the availability of energy for domestic heating and cooking. In addition, industrialisation of society has depended on access to large supplies of energy for manufacturing, transport and intensive agriculture. Industrial growth has also been accompanied by population growth, primarily due to increasing longevity and the enhanced ability of an industrial society to provide for a larger population, although the population of industrialised countries tends to stabilise when birth rates fall in response to decreased infant mortality. Nevertheless, population growth and industrialisation have together driven dramatic increases in energy demand.
