Natural Gas: Bridge To A Renewable Energy Future
Adam Serchuk, Ph.D., and Robert Means, LL.B., S.J.D.
Today, inexpensive natural gas limits the market for renewable energy. Yet, substantial opportunities for renewables remain; the
availability of gas is uneven across the world and accelerating climate change will require a conversion to carbon-free sources.
Happily, competition between the two resources does not preclude cooperation since both technologies will benefit from similar
policies and market structures. In the long term, natural gas can serve as a bridge to a renewable energy future if each community,
acting in its own interest, supports the development of the other.
