the upshot is that the energy security perspective should probably be downplayed and the climate part takes a more prominent place as upward pressure on the prices of fossil fuels will be reduced as more supply surfaces in coming decades reducing energy related c emissions requires low carbon solutions to energy production in the form of energy savings deployment of close to zero carbon technologies such as carbon capture and storage ccs atomic power and renewable energy such as wind power biomass etc from a broader perspective it requires a more general shift towards the use of primary energy sources produced at home or at the very least in stable and friendly regions when energy technologies are ranked in this way most renewable energy technologies come out top while coal is better than gas and gas is better than oil the relation between objectives implications and technologies is illustrated in figure
