Technology
Needs vs. Reality/Who Will Ride In To Save The
Day?
Climate change worries coupled with high oil
prices and increasing government support are
fueling soaring rates of investment in the
renewable energy and energy efficiency
industries. Moving to a full 25% of load by 2020
or 2025 requires creative thinking, and billions
in research, development and deployment. What is
likely to emerge? Solar, wind, wave, hydrogen,
LNG? What is possible/impossible?
