ITIF's Rob Atkinson:
America Risks Missing Out in Clean Technology
Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) President Rob Atkinson writes that America may miss the opportunity to secure new clean energy jobs for Americans as Asia's rising clean tech tigers -- China, Japan, and South Korea -- out-invest the U.S in the sector. Building off the findings of "Rising Tigers, Sleeping Giant," a report he co-authored with the Breakthrough Institute, Atkinson explains that innovation policy is the impetus behind the competitive edge these nations are developing over the U.S:
The report, Rising Tigers, Sleeping Giant, also finds that between 2009 and 2013, the governments of these nations will out-invest the U.S. three-to-one in these sectors , or $509 billion to $172 billion...This competitive edge hasn't emerged out of some kind of Ricardian comparative advantage that Asia possesses in green energy. Rather, it arose from conscious green innovation policies.
