Aremu, Fatai A.
Economic development requires stable, secure and cheap energy sources for industrial, commercial and domestic uses. The unprecedented growth in the economies of Asia's giants (ie, China and India) has resulted in greater focus on the energy question, and this has in turn stimulated sustained debate on a broad spectrum of related issues ranging from security of supply and price volatility to conservation and the environment. This work is an attempt to contribute to the debate on the current trend and future trajectory of energy consumption in Asia, which is currently the engine of global economic growth. The article intends to identify and explore the nature of the key energy issues, policy responses to those issues and the missing links therein. It is the objective of the article to make some policyrelevant and actionable recommendations.
