Fiorino offers a highly readable, empirically grounded, and comprehensive assessment of actions taken to date and viable paths toward a carbon-neutral energy future."Michael Kraft, University of Wisconsin, Green Bay"A sober assessment of both the promise of, and potential barriers to, clean energy as the solution to the climate crisis. The Clean Energy Transition is particularly strong in revealing the interplay of technical possibilities and political realities."Stephen Harper, Intel Corporation"The book provides the serious student in energy policy a fresh look at recent challenges--both from a technology perspective and a policy perspective."Daniel S. Zachary, Johns Hopkins University
