Description:The move towards a low-carbon economy has been described as the second industrial revolution. As state mandates drive the adoption of renewable energy sources, we are assured that multiple benefits will result. New 'green collar' jobs will be generated; energy supplies will be secured; climate change will be averted; and social inequalities will be removed. In The Green Mirage, John Constable challenges this optimistic scenario ... [by] suggesting that target-led, state-managed and subsidy-driven clean energy policies are likely to cause the remature adoption of costly technologies exhibiting low productivity, with resulting net economic contraction and wealth destruction. Eventual consumer resistance is inevitable and will become politically salient, thus further delaying the hoped-for green transition.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
