Abstract
The results of analytical investigations of the dynamics of world energy consumption, which were performed on the basis of a mathematical analysis of series of statistical data on the consumption of primary energy in the world, are presented. The main trends characteristic for the present stage of development of world energy production are determined. It is shown that for any forecasts new energy sources and, first and foremost, atomic energy, will have to be put into active use in the near future.
