The world is entering the Third Industrial Revolution, an era of
remarkable progress in science and technology that will require a
global shift away from reliance on fossil-fuel and carbon-based
energy. This book explains how America can lead the effort to
reverse global warming and become the world leader in global energy
innovation. America is trailing other parts of the developed world
in terms of its development of-and commitment to-renewable energy.
In Europe and Asia, sustainable communities, smart green grids, and
emerging environmentally sound technologies are becoming common.
The United States must move beyond the lethargy and defeatism of
the 9/11 era, rediscover its ability to lead in technological
inventiveness, and revitalize its economy via the creation of green
jobs and sustainable, carbon-neutral communities. Because the lives
of America's children and grandchildren are at stake, America must
act quickly. Global Energy Innovation: Why America Must Lead
explains why the emerging Third Industrial Revolution will become
the largest social and economic megatrend of the post-modern era.
With its comprehensive, up-to-date examination of renewable energy
systems and related green technologies, this book represents a
call-to-action that will benefit any reader, regardless of their
status as a lay person, scholar, or scientist. Describes numerous
examples of Europe and Asia's emerging activities in the Third
Industrial Revolution, as well as the EU and Asia's historical and
current activities in climate change mitigation, renewable energy
technologies, and economic models to promote the green revolution
Covers new technologies across the globe, ranging from single-hut
solar energy generation for African villages to industrial-scale
wind farms in Mongolia Includes materials from the United Nations
and information from scientific studies on climate change, global
population growth, and environmental degradation Offers directions
for the creation of successful public policies and sustainability
strategies on a community level, from colleges and universities to
