Description (excerpt):
The Pew Charitable Trusts believes that advanced clean energy technologies can strengthen America’s economic and environmental future as well as its security. Pew’s research in recent years indicates that clean energy helps create employment, manufacturing, and export opportunities while reducing the pollution and risks associated with current energy patterns and technologies. To reclaim a leadership position in the worldwide competition, the public and private sectors in the United States must work together to strengthen the clean energy industry.
In order to enhance public understanding of opportunities and U.S. competitiveness in the sector, the Pew Clean Energy Program has worked throughout 2012 to compile projections of future energy investment patterns as well as expert perspectives on the current status and future prospects of the industry. In both of these fact-finding endeavors, our focus is on clean energy generating capacity, including solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and marine power. This project has not explored data or viewpoints on energy efficiency, energy storage, transmission, transportation, or “smart-grid” technologies.
