Explores how these conflicting scenarios could be reconciled; how
can we shape a more sustainable energy system from the existing
one; and possible technological progress and innovations to enable
a brighter future. Addresses the reality that there exists no
consensus on the extent to which innovations can really contribute
to reconciling ever-growing energy consumption, availability of
resources and the environment, and the structural demands on any
energy system. Offers and explains a four-point strategy: Energy
should according to its importance regain a top priority in the
political arena; higly targeted subsidies should be given for a
limited amount of time to speed up the market introduction of
energy-efficient and regenerative techniques in analogy to the
'Dutch model'; Negotiated agreements and unilateral
self-commitments can subsequently ensure further market diffusion
of sustainable energy innovations.; the basic research in energy
should not be diminished but intensified instead
