What Mattered in Energy Innovation This Year
Notable advances in renewable energy pale compared to the impact of shale gas.
Although renewable energy made impressive advances this year, its impact has been dwarfed by the changes caused by the surplus of cheap, abundant natural gas made possible by hydrofracturing—fracking—of shale deposits. It will also be hard for renewables to equal the impact of shale gas in the coming years.http://www.technologyreview.com/news/508951/what-mattered-in-energy-innovation-this-year/
