Abstract
This paper evaluates the atmospheric CO2 impact of recent energy scena rios. The impact of the expected four-fold increase in energy use is c ompared with that reflecting a reduced fossil fuel-burning scenario. M easurement of the alternative impact is needed using an econometric mo delling approach to the traditional atmospheric equilibrium model. Pre scriptions are given regarding the benefits of the reduced fossil fuel demand scenario.
