Summary
This policy report, published by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) in 2021, proposes Congressional funding mechanisms to accelerate clean energy technology development and deployment. The authors frame the initiative as a major government 'moon shot' programme, drawing analogies to historical technological undertakings. The paper is primarily prescriptive, outlining how legislative action could mobilise resources for clean energy innovation.
UK applicability
Whilst the paper's focus is United States Congressional mechanisms and federal funding structures, the underlying innovation and deployment frameworks may have limited direct application to United Kingdom governance, which operates under different legislative and devolved authority structures. However, principles of government-backed innovation financing for energy transition could be contextualised for UK policy discussions.
Key measures
Not applicable — policy analysis rather than empirical measurement
Outcomes reported
The paper examines policy mechanisms and Congressional funding approaches to accelerate clean energy innovation and deployment, framed as a 'moon shot' initiative analogous to major government technology programmes.
