In preparing projections for the AEO 2006, EIA evaluated a wide range of trends and issues that could have major implications for U.S. energy markets between now and 2030.
While focusing primarily on the reference case, lower and higher economic growth cases, and lower and higher energy price cases, the full AEO2006 report presents information on over thirty alternative cases. Examples include cases that examine the impact of greater and slower improvement in energy technologies (end-use, electric generation, renewable, exploration and production), cases with more rapid reductions in nuclear costs, cases with the more rapid or slower introduction of liquefied natural gas supplies, and cases that open the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to exploration and development. These cases provide the user of the AEO2006 with a better appreciation of the full range of uncertainty that surrounds long-term energy projections.
