This paper investigates the relationship between economic growth and growth in energy use in the larter quarter of the 20th century. The relationship between growth in energy use and gross domestic product (GDP) growth became weaker after the fırst energy crisis. But, after 1986, it seems to have become stronger again in countries. Energy use tends to grow more slowly than GDP in rich countries, while the opposite is true for poor countries. This relationship is true for Turkey in 1985-1998 period. In this period, energy use is more than economic growth. The oil intensity has declined during 1985-1998 but electricity and naturel gas/water intensities have increased during this period.
