The collapse in world oil prices in the second half of 2014 will have only a moderate impact on the fast-developing low-carbon transition in the world electricity system, according to research firm Bloomberg New Energy Finance. While diesel and oil-based power is still uneconomic at $60/barrel, the pressure to switch is reduced.

As we try to objectively study nature, we are often reminded of how natural forces affect us personally. When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The apparent contradictions do not end there.
