Conclusion In general, policies to promote non-hydro renewable energy in Germany, Denmark, and Japan have tended to be coordinated and consistent. In the United States, many policies are enacted at the State level and may not be synchronized with Federal policies, which themselves are subject to periodic reauthorization and/or appropriations . . .

Although the United States enacted laws similar to successful legislation in other countries, Denmark and Germany have both increased the market penetration of non-hydro renewables to an extent not yet seen in the United States. Some of the differences in outcomes for the installation of non-hydro renewable energy are related to varying resource endowments, political and economic systems, cultural traditions, and electricity prices, but three other factors may also be important. At a general level, Denmark and Germany both displayed an extraordinary level of political commitment to renewable . . .
