Every one loves a booming market, and most booms happen on the back of technological change. The world's venture capitalists, having fed on the computing boom of 1980s, the internet boom of the 1990s and the biotech and nanotech boomlets of the early 2000s, are now looking around for the next one. They think they have found it: energy. Many past booms have been energyfed: coal-fired steam power, oil-fired international-combustion engines, the rise of electricity, even the mass tourism of the jet era. But the fast few decades have been quiet on that front. Coal has been cheap. Natural gas been cheap. The one real novelty, nuclear power, went spectacularly off the rails. The pressure to innovate has been minimal.
