摘要
The development of renewable energy technology is now widely seen as important if the world is to move towards a sustainable approach to energy generation. However, there are a range of obstacles facing the rapid development of these technologies: they are trying to establish themselves in an outdated institutional, market and industrial context. This paper looks at some of the institutional and social obstacles to the development and deployment of renewables and at how they might be reduced. It also attempts to set the development of renewables in the wider context of sustainable development. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
