Good.

12. Political economy   
Green Growth, Energy Transformations, and the Climate Debate: Domestic and International Issues. While the Climate problem is ‘global’, the solutions will lie in major part in the transition of domestic energy systems from high carbon low efficiency to high efficiency low carbon. That transformation will be costly in the short run and does not produce automatic or evident economic gain. Why do some countries pursue strategies to transform energy systems while others do not? Can Green Sustain Growth?
