Reviving the ‘leapfrog’ to renewables approach to energy access

Leapfrogging from no energy straight to green sources used to be the preferred method for making energy access universal. But recently, another approach has been gaining traction, one that posits fossil fuels, even coal, are a necessary and unavoidable steppingstone to modernity. Charlie Bush, Senior Editor of New Energy World, reconsiders the debate.
