Energy Questions for Homework

The questions are below - treat each of them like a 5 or 6 mark question.
1) What happened to the amount of energy demanded by China and India? What is projected to happen to demand in the next 50 years?
2) Why, at present, is China demanding more energy?
3) How is China fulfiling it's demand for energy? Why can India not follow in it's footsteps?
4) What are the possible energy futures for each country?
