Recensione

'A useful overview of the hopes and fears of the UK nuclear industry ... this is a fascinating account of US federal policy on renewable energy between 1945 and 1980, together with a well-argued analysis of general energy and technology policy advocacy using the solar industry as an example.' Mark Hammonds, The Journal of Energy Literature

'In this fascinating book, Frank Laird has achieved a rare combination of rich historical detail with a compelling and timely thesis about the interaction of ideas, institutions, and new technology.' David H. Guston, Rutgers University

'Frank Laird has produced a thoughtful and perceptive analysis of both solar energy policy and of the larger domain of technology policy. This work, I am sure, will become a standard in the field.' Dr. Patrick W. Hamlett, North Carolina State University
