• World Resources Institute Fact Sheet – Concentrating Solar Thermal Power: Clean Energy for the United States (2009)-

  This fact sheet was created by the World Resources Institute located in Washington, D.C. It provides information on action that the United States Federal Government could take to promote clean energy, specifically solar thermal energy, in the United States.

  The World Resources Institute lays out 6 programs that could help jumpstart the solar thermal industry. Of these different legislative actions the most important would be a price on carbon, increased RD&D funding for clean energy technology, and the implementation of a renewable energy standard.
