World energy consumption could be cut by half if clean technology applied: IEA

Oil and electricity consumption across the world could easily be cut by half, with major benefits for the environment, if clean energy technologies that are currently available were applied, an international watchdog said.
“A sustainable energy future is possible, but only if we act urgently and decisively to promote, develop and deploy a full mix of energy technologies… We have the means, now we need the will,” said Claude Mandil, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA).
