The energy use of human societies has historically been marked by four broad trends: Rising consumption as societies industrialize, gain wealth and shift from traditional sources of energy (mostly biomass-based fuels such as wood, dung and charcoal) to commercial forms of energy (primarily fossil fuels). Steady increases in both the power and efficiency of energy-producing and energy- using technologies. De-carbonization and diversification of fuels, especially for the production of electricity, throughout most of the 20th century. A reduction in the quantities of conventional pollutants associated with energy use. Each of these trends has contributed to the shaping of our current energy situation. All will be important in determining the nature and magnitude of the sustainability challenge that humanity confronts in the decades ahead. In other words, the ability of developed and developing countries to manage the consequences of rising consumption and demand for commercial forms of energy seem likely to depend on whether it will be possible to greatly accelerate progress toward higher efficiency, more de-carbonization, greater fuel diversity and lower emission of pollutants. With reference to your own country, evaluate the development of hydrocarbon energy sources and critically discuss how its utilization in various sectors contributes to sustainable socio-economic development, environmental effects and safety concerns of populations
