What will it take for the U.S. to create a low-carbon energy infrastructure? The answer, according to a big study of America’s “energy innovation system,” is something different from what we have now, and something different from the conventional wisdom about the future of energy development.

The report, Unlocking Energy Innovation, is based on a three-year research project by faculty and students at MIT, and appears as a book by Richard Lester, a professor at MIT, and David Hart, a professor at George Mason University.
