Description

Confronted with the growing threat of global climate change, today's policymakers face the challenge of how to create an energy system that emits less carbon and is more efficient, affordable, and secure. Although technologies exist whose immediate adoption would help reduce carbon emissions in the short to medium term, innovations in new technologies will eventually be necessary to stabilize the climate. A carbon price or carbon portfolio standard will clearly be necessary to ensure market demand for such new technologies; however, it alone will not be sufficient to create the needed market. Further, creating a market for carbon reduction solves only half the problem. New technologies are needed to meet that market demand. The United States has a long, if mixed, history of government efforts to support technology development. In addition to traditional measures such as facilitating technology investment through tax policy, subsidies, and funding for basic research, the government has experimented with a broad suite of technology policy options. Although departures from the traditional policy repertoire are attacked as misguided efforts by high-level government bureaucrats to choose technology winners, a closer look at history shows that choosing winners is not the only technology policy option. One particularly successful and durable innovation policy alternative, which I call bottom-up governance, has been used for over 50 years by the military in the form of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
