Racing to a Renewable Transition?

In this chapter, we turn specifically to the question of renewables development and examine who is leading that race. While it is clear which state is in the lead at present, we consider whether it matters all that much if the transition appears to be so far in the future. A full-scale transition to renewables does not appear to be an immediate possibility. What is more probable is a partial transition focusing on transportation and electricity generation. At what pace this transition will take place and whether it will be sufficient to address global warming concerns remains to be seen. Whether a partial shift to cleaner energy can create the foundation for systemic leadership is also less clear, because the innovations involved with such a shift are likely to be readily emulated by rivals. Systemic leadership has been predicated on one state gaining an economic edge on the competition. If that edge is no longer achievable, world politics will either need to move to new political leadership patterns or make do with the eroding older ones.
