Accelerating Clean Energy Innovation, With Colin Cunliff

Innovation is central to addressing global climate change while
increasing economic growth, boosting international
competitiveness, and strengthening energy security. Yet out of a
$4 trillion budget, the United States only invests about $8
billion a year—or 0.04 percent of GDP—on clean energy research
and development. Rob and Jackie discuss the urgent need for
innovation in the clean energy sector—and “must pass” legislation
that will accelerate progress—with Colin Cunliff, senior analyst
at ITIF’s Clean Energy Innovation Program.
