"Yes we can! Indeed, this is a book for these times. Providing new vocabulary and new categories, the authors advance the urgently needed conversation about how government can spur the innovations in the energy system that will mitigate climate change. Anyone interested in seeing real progress made by biofuels, renewable electricity, nuclear power, carbon dioxide capture and storage, or auto and building efficiency should read this book."
—Robert H. Socolow, Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Co-Director, The Carbon Mitigation Initiative, Princeton University

"This book provides, in a single volume, a clear and beautifully written review of innovation theory and energy technology. It then uses these insights to propose a practical framework for designing a national policy on energy and climate that draws both on theory and on the authors' extensive practical insights into what can actually be achieved through public policy. Anyone interested in designing an energy policy that actually works, escaping ideological battles and the passions of single-technology advocates, should read this book."
—Henry Kelly, President, Federation of American Scientists

"To address global warming, one of the great challenges has always been how to drive innovation in the energy sector. Weiss and Bonvillian peer into this black box and emerge with a blueprint for prosperity at a time when the nation desperately needs it. The links between technology, policy, and progress have never been clearer."
—Timothy Profeta, Founding Director, Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, Duke University
