Re: Energy realism: ExxonMobil and wind (none / 1)
When they talk about fossil fuels remaining dominant for 25 years, I presume they mean coal and gas more than oil.

However, wouldn't that imply that, at some point in the next few years, the price of gas will have to de-couple from that of oil in order to remain competitive. Yet who might initiate such a thing, as it would not be in the producer state's interests to do so.

It also puts the UK's continued insitence on the Dash for Gas in an interesting light.

They may be referring to tar sands, etc.
