31 p.This paper sought to draw lessons from long run trends in energy markets for energy and climate policy ; it highlights the risks to developing countries of locking-in to carbon intensive infrastructure or behaviours ; without guidance and incentives, rapid economic development is likely to lock consumers into high energy service prices in the long run and bind the economy onto a high energy intensity trajectory with major long run economic and environmental impacts.
