Abstract: Abstract A significant increase in global energy consumption is likely to take place in the forthcoming decade. This increase cannot be met in the long run by fossil fuel based power supply, without very serious consequences for the global environment (Lundsager 1996). Appropriate environmental policies to keep environmental costs under control will be more and more necessary and they will have to be put in place through institutional rules monitoring and governing the behaviour of firms and individual energy users.
