Renewable energy is rising within an energy system dominated by powerful vested energy interests in fossil fuels, nuclear and electric utilities. Analyzing renewables in six very different countries, the author argues that it is the extent to which states have controlled these vested interests that determines the success or failure of renewables.

Focuses on the role of the state in promoting a country's long-term technological progress and industrial leadership. This study looks at Schumpeterian growth, which credits the ability to use technological progress for the benefit of industrial leadership as the key motor of national development and economic success.
