미국 민간 부문의 에너지 R&D

Unleashing Private-Sector Energy R&D (2013)

Insights from Interviews with 17 R&D Leaders

Executive Summary

Private companies have led technological revolutions that transformed industries such as computers and medicine, but the energy industry remains stuck in the past: our transportation system is 93% dependent on petroleum, and only 3.4% of our electricity is generated by solar, wind, and geothermal sources. America will be far wealthier, more secure, and more competitive with a rich array of sustainable, domestic energy options. U.S. energy companies can be leaders in the development of our future energy technologies, but they must make R&D a central part of their business models, and the government must create a public policy environment that is favorable to long-term, high-risk investments in R&D by private firms.
