Reflecting its reliance on fossil fuels, the electric power industry produces the majority of the world''s greenhouse gas emissions. The need for a revolution in the industry becomes further apparent given that ''decarbonization'' means an increasing electrification of other sectors of the economy in particular, through a switch from gasoline to electric vehicles. Of the options for producing electric power without significant greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy is most attractive to policymakers, as it promises increased national self-reliance on energy supplies and the creation of new industries and jobs, without the safety and political concerns of nuclear power or the unproven technology of carbon capture and storage.Drawing on both economic theory and the experiences of the United States and EU member states, Harnessing Renewable Energy addresses the key questions surrounding renewable energy policies. How appropriate is the focus on renewable power as a primary tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions? If renewable energy is given specific support, what form should that support take? What are the implications for power markets if renewable generation is widely adopted? Thorough and well-evidenced, this book will be of interest to a broad range of policymakers, the electric power industry, and economists who study energy and environmental issues.

Industry Reviews

'A comprehensive and timely review of the international experience in fostering the use of renewable energy sources in the electricity industry.'Blas Perez Henriquez, University of California, Berkeley'A comprehensive and timely review of the international experience in fostering the use of renewable energy sources in the electricity industry. Understanding the political, business, and technological drivers behind the clean energy revolution is important as many nations aim to enable low-carbon development paths that will bring economic prosperity to their citizens, while at the same time reducing human impacts on the environment.'Blas Perez Henriquez, University of California, Berkeley'This book should be devoured by thoughtful policy makers considering how renewables will fit into decarbonized electric systems. Bringing varied perspectives on this fundamental question, these scholars make a provocative and informative contribution to a topic of critical importance to governments around the world.'
