Abstract or Table of Contents
This report provides a selective survey of U.S. government policies that have affected technological innovation in the post-World War II period, and draws “lessons learned” for greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. Throughout the report, technology is viewed in an evolutionary context that is based on and consistent with a large body of work by economists, historians, and policy analysts.
