Bruce Rising, strategic business manager for Siemens Energy Inc., discusses the mix of fuel sources and the continuing advantages of producing electricity from fossil fuels, especially natural gas. Despite the pressure on coal, he says emerging technology holds promise in continuing its use as a source of cheaper fuel.
