The US energy consumption rate from 2008 to 2018 is available in existing public data "BP Statistical Review of World Energy, 2019, 68th edition." Determine the average consumption growth rate using the simple exponential growth model from 2008 to 2018. Using this growth rate, find the doubling time [yrs] and estimate the energy consumption rate [MTOE] in the year 2050.
