Backstop Technology

Backstop Technology is a theoretical substitute energy source or production method in resource economics that belongs to the class of long-run equilibrium mechanisms, distinguished by its ability to provide an infinite supply of a depletable resource at a finite, albeit potentially higher, marginal cost, thereby setting an upper bound on the resource’s price trajectory under the Hotelling Rule.
