Investors and policy-makers are facing an historic choice.At the very time when commentators are branding green investing as a luxury the world cannot afford, enormous investment in the world’s energy infrastructure is required in order to address the twin threats of energy  insecurity and climate change.

A vitally important research paper that should be required reading for all Americans interested in seeing America be a leader - and generate jobs - in clean technology. This report provides the first comprehensive comparison of public investments by the United States and key Asian competitors in core clean energy technologies, including solar, wind, and nuclear power, carbon capture and storage, advanced vehicles and batteries, and high-speed rail. Key findings are that America is being out invested, out-flanked on the policy front and is truly on the verge of losing any hope of becoming a key economic player in the green collar economy.
