Oil dominance challenged by emerging energy sources, reshaping global economy.

Energy Transition

The article examines the future of synthetic fuels by looking at U.S. energy needs, reliance on foreign sources, world oil supply, and the possibility of using electricity instead of synthetic fuels from coal and oil shale. It also considers the rising costs of energy systems and the need for government support to boost confidence in expensive synthetic fuels projects.
