Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index"Energy and Power explains the deeper history behind Germany's daring campaign to refashion its energy system on a foundation of renewable power. It shows how the Federal Republic passed through five energy transitions since 1945 that fundamentally reshaped its politics, society, and economics. West Germany's transition to oil in the 1950s and 1960s unleashed a series of crises that politicized energy. This launched the nation on a trajectory that departed radically from the United States in emphasizing first the need for energy savings and eventually calling for the aggressive promotion of renewable power at a federal level. Where most scholars explain Germany's special energy path through its anti-nuclear movement and Green party, Energy and Power shows how this trajectory resulted from a synthesis of outsiders and political insiders, who wanted to change the nation's energy system for reasons of exports, geopolitical security, modernization, and jobs more than anything else. In contrast to neoliberal policymakers in the United States and Britain, who sought to protect free markets them from political intervention after the 1970s, German experts and leaders developed a new energy paradigm-Ecological Modernization-which embraced the fact that social actors working through corporatist negotiation should determine the basic orientation of the energy system. Even before global warming became a pressing concern, and for reasons that had little to do with climate change, Germans integrated ideas about the social cost of energy with new theories of technological change to unleash a novel, state-guided, green energy transition"
