The State of Energy Innovation 2026 Executive summary
…absence of private sector capital for next-generation geothermal development – a long-term project with high risks that is now starting to translate into major investments – governments funded nearly all the initial work from the 1970s to the 2010s.Cost-benefit evaluations typically show that the economic benefits of public energy R&D are far greater – even a hundredfold larger – than their costs. The most complete retrospective evaluations of this kind followed several multi-decade US programmes up to 2015. These programmes generated benefits to the US economy at least three times greater than their costs, including fuel expenditure savings…
