ECOMNOMIC AND SOCIAL INEQUALITY AS FACTOR OF WORLD ENERGY SECTOR DEVELOPMENT
The article reviews known theories of inequality and seeks to apply them to the energy inequality. There are suggested the possible links between energy consumption and economic development based on statistical analysis and previous studies. The central argument of the study is that it is reasonable to adopt different kinds of policy depending on the causal relationship between these phenomena. The paper also considers the reasons for the control of the energy poverty. World energy and economy scenarios are examined in the context of energy inequality.
