能源和煤炭是當(dāng)今增長最快的兩種能源形式。這些能源的增長在發(fā)展中國家尤為突出，那里的電力能力正在不斷擴(kuò)大。煤炭和可再生能源通常需要較少的前期投資，較少的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，并且比其他能源選擇在全球分布更廣，這使得它們成為近期需要增加電力容量的地區(qū)的理想選擇。

R enewables and coal are the two fastest growing forms of energy today. The growth of these energy sources is particularly prominent in developing countries, where most expansion in electricity capacity is occurring. Coal and renewables often require less upfront investment, less infrastructure, and are more widely distributed globally than other energy options, making them ideal choices for regions that need to add electricity capacity in the near term.
