Oil wells are drying up, and solar energy is getting cheaper; windpower in the States is now cheaper than coal. Industries are beginning to recognise and switch to the new sources of power. Not only are the facilities and infrastructure of the power industry obsolete, but also the way of doing business is under threat.
Electric cars will be fuelled at home; rooftops will supply the home's energy; hydrogen will replace fossil fuels; fuel cells will provide power for tools; work at home will replace commuting.
The authors see a turbulent decade while power companies try to maintain their hold on energy supply, and new corporations wrestle them for control.
