	Every portion of the energy sector is rife with various technologies. Extracting [[resource]]s like [[fossil fuel]]s or harnessing [[flow]]s like [[wind power]] requires technology. The entire energy infrastructure is an extensive application of innumerable technologies. Electrification (the ability to generate and transport [[electricity]] through the [[electrical grid]]) was voted the #1 technological achievement of the 20<sup>th</sup> century, followed by the automobile and the airplane.<ref>Greatest Achievements.

Every portion of the energy sector is rife with various technologies. Extracting [[resource]]s like [[fossil fuel]]s or harnessing [[flow]]s like [[wind power]] requires technology. The entire energy infrastructure is an extensive application of innumerable technologies. Electrification (the ability to generate and transport [[electricity]] through the [[electrical grid]]) was voted the #1 technological achievement of the 20<sup>th</sup> century, followed by the automobile and the airplane.<ref>Greatest Achievements.

Newer technologies often have extensive room for improvements (like different types of [[nuclear reactor]]s or computers), but older technologies like [[battery|batteries]] are often seeing only small, incremental improvements.

==Need for technology==
Often society, or governments want to develop specific technology for a specific purpose. This is referred to as '''supply push''' technology. This development aims at developing speciﬁc technologies through support for research, development and demonstration.<ref name=IPCC_SRREN/>

The other type of technology is '''demand pull'''. When people want technology badly, the technology sometimes gets created. This means that something has created a market or other incentives to encourage people to create particular knowledge to achieve a particular goal. One example of this is trying to generate low-carbon technologies through carbon pricing. It's thought that putting a price on carbon will encourage businesses to create new technologies. Sometimes a particular technology like [[solar power]] are encouraged through technology specific [[feed-in tariff]]s.<ref name=IPCC_SRREN/>

==Concerns==
People have long had strong emotional reactions to technology. Introduction of new technology often changes society and has unexpected consequences. Criticism is often leveled at technology that creates a deeper and deeper need for technology. For example, [[climate change]] has come about from the technology that burns [[fossil fuel]]s, and there's concern that attempting to fix this with more technological solutions could make matters worse.

Technology is rarely abandoned once it's been found, until technology that meets the same needs in a more effective manner is introduced.
