But if we are to achieve a timely transition to reliable, low-cost, low-carbon energy, the U.S. energy innovation system must be radically overhauled. Unlocking Energy Innovation outlines an up-to-the-minute plan for remaking America's energy innovation system by tapping the country's entrepreneurial strengths and regional diversity in both the public and private spheres. The authors map three waves of energy innovation to show how we can speed up the introduction of new technologies and business models and accelerate their deployment on a massive scale. "Business as usual" will not fill the energy innovation gap. Nor will wishful thinking--common enough today, with politicians and others talking up some technologies, talking down others, and claiming that if we price it, or if we mandate it, or if we simply say it often and inspiringly enough, the innovations will flow. Only the kind of systemic, transformative changes to our energy innovation system described in this provocative book will help us avert the most dire scenarios and achieve a sustainable and secure energy future. 410 0$aUPCC book collections on Project MUSE. 606 $aEnergy industries$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 606 $aRenewable energy sources$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 606 $aTechnology and state$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aMulti-User. 615 0$aEnergy industries$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aRenewable energy sources$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aTechnology and state 676 $a333.790973 700 $aLester$b Richard K$g(Richard Keith),$f1954-$0982957 701 $aHart$b David M.$f1961-$01057604 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457467903321 996 $aUnlocking energy innovation$92493046 997 $aUNINA
