A respeito da inovação em geração de energias alternativas:
"But overall, the picture is grim. This is true not only for the United States but also for the rest of the world, because the market for clean-energy technologies is global. Whether this shakeout will strengthen or weaken the clean-energy industry will depend on how policymakers, notably in the United States, prepare for it. The root cause of today's troubles is a boom-and-bust cycle of policies that have encouraged investors to flock to clean-energy projects that are quick and easy to build rather than invest in more innovative technologies that could stand a better chance of competing with conventional energy sources over the long haul. Indeed, nearly seven-eighths of all clean-energy investment worldwide now goes to deploying existing technologies, most of which are not competitive without the help of government subsidies. Only a tiny share of the investment focuses on innovation."
Como de costume, o governo não favorece a inovação neste caso, apesar da enorme propaganda em contrário.
Se você for depender do governo para grandes revoluções científicas, morrerá esperando. Ele é, razoavelmente, bom para fomentar mudanças incrementais. Para algo realmente inovador, sinto informar aos anti-mercado, têm que se contar com a iniciativa individual.
