Linking Science and Technology to Society's Environmental Goals
efficient, the growth in primary energy consumption is more rapid, and severe environmental damage per unit of energy is much greater than in developed countries. This will persist until better methods of energy use are developed and political and economic incentives for achieving their adoption sufficiently rapidly on a large enough scale can be devised.
