TL;DR: In this paper, the relative efficacy of state sales tax waivers, income tax credits and non-tax incentives for hybrid-electric vehicle adoption in the United States has been studied and shown that the type of tax incentive offered is as important as the value of the tax incentive.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative efficacy of state sales tax waivers, income tax credits, and non-tax incentives for hybrid-electric vehicle adoption was studied and it was shown that the type of tax incentive offered is as important as the generosity of the incentive.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of an energy technology innovation system (ETIS) is presented, which is a systemic perspective on innovation comprising all aspects of energy transformations (supply and demand); all stages of the technology development cycle; and all the major innovation processes, feedbacks, actors, institutions, and networks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined different sector-specific policy scenarios for reducing GHG emissions and oil consumption in the US transportation sector under economy-wide CO 2 prices and concluded that the largest reductions in GHG emission result from increasing the cost of driving, thereby damping growth in vehicle miles traveled.

TL;DR: It is found that China is likely to peak its emissions well in advance of 2030 and achieve its non-fossil target conditional on full and effective implementation of all current policies, successful conclusion of power-sector reform, and full implementation of a national emissions-trading system after 2020.
