摘要
Established that most governments prefer to boost global energy supply because it improves economies and translates to gainful employment for citizens, the rising global demand for energy from various sectors continues to trigger unprecedented consequences on the environment, resulting in hazardous implications. Hence, scientists argue that the rising demand for global energy by industrialized nations increases the vulnerability of persons and polities where these energy and mineral resources abound. Consequently, governments, multinationals, etc. are at a crossroads regarding how best to address this dilemma. Creswell's mix-method research deign and Merlyn's ex-post facto research methods for analyzing qualitative and quantitative data previously obtained from similar studies were used for attaining the objectives of the research. The study identified troubling and high-level politicking at play in most affected countries. Recommendations geared towards addressing the dilemmas emanating from the rising global demand for energy by governments and scholars were proffered.
