麻省理工学院工程系助理教授杰西卡·E·特兰西克(Jessika E.Trancik)认为,虽然低碳技术在不断取得进步,成本也在逐年下降,但仍然需要公共政策的持续扶持。也许新型电池并不像智能手机或新药那样令人兴奋。公众一般认为,能源行业只是基本服务的提供者,或是缺乏创造力的传统产业。事实上,现实正在悄然发生变化,政府对能源技术发展的支持或已初显成效。 Jessika E. Tracik, an assistant professor of engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, believes that while low-carbon technologies are making progress and costs are declining year by year, continuing support for public policy is still needed. Maybe new batteries are not as exciting as smartphones or new drugs. The general public generally believes that the energy sector is simply a provider of basic services or a traditional industry that lacks creativity. In fact, the reality is quietly changing. Government support for energy technology development has begun to show initial results.
