Worth Reading | The Future of Energy

The Economist features a terrific special report on the future of energy. The gist of the article is that not everyone is pessimistic about the future of energy. "For, in the imaginations of a coteries of physicists, biologists and engineers, and alternative world is taking shape" and "plans for the end of the fossil-fuel economy are now being laid and they do not involve much self-flagellation. Instead of bullying and scaring people, the prophets of energy technology are attempting to seduce them. They promise a world where, at one level, things will have changed beyond recognition, but at another will have stayed comfortably the same, and may even have got better."
