Escalating energy demand may be the most important issue facing the
United States and the world today. There is little disagreement
that research and development (R&D) is needed to develop new
energy technologies for the future; however, there is less
agreement over the specific research agenda to be pursued and how
that agenda is funded. This book addresses the social importance of
new energy technologies, illustrates policy-relevant applications
of evaluation techniques and proposes new perspectives for a US
energy investment strategy. Through detailed examples related to
solar, geothermal, and vehicle technologies, the authors outline
the need for robust evaluation methods to document social returns
to taxpayers' R&D investments. They argue that such evaluations
are necessary for the public sector to make rational decisions
about the allocation of its scares resources. The evaluation
methods considered involve developing alternative technology and
market pathways from which the benefits of government research can
be measured. Researchers and graduate students, policy makers
involved in energy technology, and energy R&D program managers
will all find much of value in this important and timely book.
