Energy’s Digital Future is a wake-up call and an urgent warning not only to the U.S. government but also to investors worldwide. Jaffe, whom I have often turned to for advice on energy investing, presents a well-balanced, research-backed analysis that points to the need to embrace the digital revolution in energy technologies.
