Core findings include: 1. Asia’s rising “clean technology tigers” – China, Japan, and South Korea – have already passed the United States in the production of virtually all clean energy technologies, and over the next !ve years, the governments of these nations will out-invest the United States three-to-one in these sectors. is public investment gap will allow these Asian nations to attract a signi"cant share of private sector investments in clean energy technology, estimated to total in the trillions of dollars over the next decade. While some U.S. "rms will bene"t from the establishment of joint ventures overseas, the jobs, tax revenues, and other bene"ts of clean tech growth will overwhelmingly accrue to Asia’s clean tech tigers.
