Includes bibliographical references (p. [275]-300) and index. An integrated innovation policy model for energy technology -- Promoting development and adoption of new energy technology -- Toward a roadmap for launching technological innovation in energy -- Energy R & D and implementation : what is the level of funding and where will the money come from? -- Institutional gaps in the mechanisms of support for different stages of innovation -- All pumping together? prospects for international collaboration -- Political prospects and conclusions. From the Publisher: America is addicted to fossil fuels, and the environmental and geopolitical costs are mounting. A federal program-on the scale of the Manhattan Project or the Apollo Program-to stimulate innovation in energy policy seems essential. In Structuring an Energy Technology Revolution, Charles Weiss and William Bonvillian make the case for just such a program. Their proposal backs measures to stimulate private investment in new technology, including a cap-and-trade system or carbon tax, but augments these with a revamped energy innovation system. It would encourage a broad range |
