Wind power, solar (photovoltaic) energy, geothermal power, and other forms of renewables can help solve our most pressing environmental problems, including global climate change. But how do we move these promising technologies out of the laboratory and into widespread use? Renewable Energy Policy shows what public policy can--and cannot--do to help tap renewables' promise. \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eRenewable Energy Policy\u003c\/i\u003e takes a pragmatic, nuts-and-bolts look at the myriad government efforts to promote renewables, and reports back on what works, what doesn't, and why. In clear, jargon-free language, Renewable Energy Policy shows how and why some policies have achieved impressive results, and others have failed. Skillfully interweaving technology, economics, and politics, Paul Komor reveals how the best of policy ideas often end up with unintended results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e If you want to know how much wind power really costs (Chapter 2), why Germany's renewables laws are \"crude but effective\" (Chapter 8), or the three reasons why the UK's green energy market is a flop (Chapter 4), then you need to read \u003ci\u003eRenewable Energy Policy\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Komor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595312187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595312184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.16w x 0.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Komor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47199871762687,"sku":"9780595312184","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e338b5ae-8ae1-4003-8080-2789a6f385ef.jpg?v=1756785436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/renewable-energy-policy-paul-komor-9780595312184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
