¶ … Richard Manson and Tina Kaarsberg in their article "Unleashing innovation in electricity generation" have made an earnest attempt to prove that the U.S. electric power industry has been experiencing an eminent boom. They prove that the market is experiencing a boom of new managers and industrial developments while, on the other hand, technological advancements are entering a new sphere of extremely competent, small production, unitary control systems. However, it seems that no step has been taken at the local and government level to channelize these advances to benefit the whole economy.
The article highlights the condition of the fossil fuel industry. This industry is not subjected to the competitive nature of the markets. However, reviewing the last four decades from the 1960's one realizes that the electrical efficiency achieved by the use fossil fuel has dropped from its previous value. However, the article asserts that industrialists continue to use these fossil fuels and are unwilling to make use of the technological efficiencies of the electrically generated powers that produce 60% - 90% more energy when the wasted force is recovered. This ignorant behavior is leading to more fuel wastages and pollution.
The writers make an extremely strong case by showing data, statistics and figures that the power industry will only advance and spread if the restrictions on competition are lifted, if expenditures on Research and Development are increased and the risk-taking industries are allowed to restructure the power coordination alongside the stock-driven boundaries. Furthermore, the article makes it clear by excellent illustrations that no government policy or revolutionary modernization is going to help. In the end, the writers demonstrate that the effective reformation of this level may require changes in the structure of various official, rigid, and insightful obstacles but the advantages gained will be numerous too.
