Consider the potential future of the energy economy on a global scale. Describe the future path of the economics of oil, gas and energy as you see it, by addressing the following points:
1. Is climate change a real threat to the global economy? If so, what can realistically be done?
2. Is "peak oil" a real threat to the global economy?
3. Can countries increase their "energy security"? If so, how?
4. Will developing economies be winners or losers in the new global energy economy?
