agreed, government can fund, and government can create markets. I don't know if requiring 10% drop-in fuels is aa restriction on behavior in your terms or not, but it certainly created a market for innovation. I agree the global warming targets is hopeless, but one can place requirements on consumer products that creates markets and drive innovation by necessity (CA emission rules a clear example).

hi dig,

i agree. but innovation also happens outside the scope of regulation - unless we also say basic ip law is a form of regulation.

if government support helps, great.

but regulation as restriction on behaviour isn't the only way. indeed, it doesn't always work too well.

eg getting the us to accept global warming targets through international bodies is hopeless.
