Natural gas remained the leading source of electricity in the United States, but renewables, coal and nuclear power found themselves trading second place amongst themselves as lockdown measures ebbed and flowed and temperature averages shifted across the country.

A major trend that has stemmed from the pandemic is contactless service. From signing a document to accepting a package, people do not want to touch anything that has been touched by another person. In-store shopping is an area that is harder to make contactless, but using a mobile payment system (MPOS) lets shoppers checkout easier and safer. A mobile payment is a payment made through a portable electronic device, like a smartphone or tablet.
