PhD energy innovation 
Into decarbonisation, regeneration & climate/crypto 
Globally, more energy innovation is needed to meet the aims of the #ParisAgreement 
, but different countries are pursuing different policies, technologies+organisational approaches. WHY? 
& how does this impact ultimate #cleanenergy outcomes? #SussexDocFest #tweetyourthesis

I'd say: because countries have different physical circumstances (e.g. for large hydro, coal, wind or solar), different institutional structures, and a different energy history (path dependence).
Essentially yes- also different attitudes towards climate change and the percieved role of the state play a part in the stability and amount of funding available and at what stage of tech development it's directed at.. all very interesting :)

The role of the state is part of the institutional structure; and plays a very much overlooked role in keeping industries in oil, coal and natural gas as they are..
-
To an extent, but in the UK coal use has fallen off a cliff since 2014 and the government is making rapid moves towards RE+ vehicle electrification via the Industrial Strategy, Clean Growth Plan+ Mission Innovation.. Could probably argue the nuclear industry has more influence
