Interesting application of options idea to “Green” Energy programs
A colleague of mine drew to my attention an NPR story about the Federal government's plans to develop green technologies. In many ways, the approach echoes options reasoning:
Many small bets
Substantial upside if the opportunity is successful
Less concern about the rate of failure than the cost of failure
Genuine uncertainty
A pretty interesting approach.
