The Slow, Messy Changing of the Electricity Guard

摘要

Conventional energy technologies and investors in big oil, natural gas and coal are highly resistant to letting insurgent renewable energy technologies such as solar and wind take the lead. No matter, squint your eyes and the energy future with renewable energy as the dominant technology is visible over the horizon - hazy and still a bit far off, but visible. Currently, renewable energy's share of global energy production is a fraction of conventional energy's share but change is slowly taking hold despite well-funded resistance to it.
