The Annual Energy Outlook 2008 (Early Release)-(AEO2008), from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), includes several important changes from earlier AEOs to better reflect trends in the economy and energy markets that are expected to persist. Energy markets are changing in response to the higher energy prices experienced since 2000; the greater influence of developing countries on worldwide energy requirements; recently enacted legislation and regulations in the United States; and changing public views related to the use of alternative fuels, emissions, and the acceptability of various energy technologies, among other factors.
