Role of Government in Energy Saving: R&D Facilitator

In reply to Rob Enderle

Rob E., Nice post. It may be helpful to get out of the mode of thinking about the whole Obama Administration as purely a group of technocrats who think only in terms of command and control. There are many groups within the exec branch of government (DARPA, NIH, NSF, DoE R&D...) who do seek to nurture organic innovation of the kind that might actually have an positive impact on each of the issues you raise. I do agree that the Administration makes a mistake talking about so many major problems as if government alone can solve them, or even take the lead to solve them. A more helpful metaphor might be sowing the seeds of innovation and encouraging the growth of what sprouts as a result.
