Renewable Energy Transformation or Fossil Fuel Backlash

Vested Interests in the Political Economy

Beschreibung

Renewable energy is rising within an energy system dominated by powerful vested energy interests in fossil fuels, nuclear and electric utilities. Analyzing renewables in six very different countries, the author argues that it is the extent to which states have controlled these vested interests that determines the success or failure of renewables.
