The world has work to do to meet Sustainable Energy for All's goals of reaching 100
percent access to modern energy, doubling renewable energy, and doubling improvement in energy efficiency by 2030.
Roger Pielke Jr., an environmental studies professor at the University of Colorado, has pointed out that the international community's definition of «
modern energy access» tends
to be pitiful — it means providing people with a mere 2.2
percent of the
energy that the average American uses.
