China is Leading This Energy Technology ...

Victor Menasce
About this episode

On today’s show we are talking about some of the changes underway in energy that could have major impacts on global energy consumption and global demand for certain types of fuel. 

We tend to think that the US is the world leader in technology. In many areas it is. The conventional wisdom has been that the West has the great ideas, and countries in Asia copy those ideas and reproduce them cheaper due to lower priced labour. 

On today’s show we are going to challenge that conventional thinking.
