Energy transition could be headed for 'valley of death,' says report
Investments in oil and gas have decreased in favor of alternative energy in recent years, but with alternative energy technologies still able to supply only a small fraction of usable energy, rushing the transition would be a costly mistake, according to a new report by Gabriel Collins, Baker Botts Fellow in Energy and Environmental Regulatory Affairs at the Baker Institute for Public Policy, and Michelle Michot Foss, fellow in energy, minerals and materials.
