That minimal upward trend may well turn negative soon as a result of recent advances in energy technology and the discovery of massive natural gas deposits that can replace carbon-intensive coal power.
Doing so will help provide much needed certainty to invest in capital-intensive projects such as power plants that operate for 40 years or longer.
