| | Energy R&D and Climate Change - Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | This preliminary findings from an ongoing research project examining trends in energy RandD investments in selected industrialized countries (The United States, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, and the European Union). |
 | | Its underlying purpose is to assess the adequacy of current energy RandD, in terms of investment levels and programmatic scope considering the likely energy technology demands associated with international efforts to address global climate change. |
 | | Causes of the observed decline might include the ongoing deregulation of the energy industries, the absence of acute energy crises, and shifts in domestic social and policy priorities in the post-Cold War period. |
