Financing Renewable Energy: Who is Financing What and Why it Matters (2018, neutral): “Firstly, with a wide portfolio, if innovation is unsuccessful in one area, not all eggs are in one basket (Grubler, 2012); secondly, a diversified energy supply increases resilience of the energy system and hence energy security (Stern, 2015; Stirling, 2010b).”
The mineral foundation of the energy transition (2018, background): “…is beginning to become clear, its pace and contours remain elusive (e.g., IEA, 2017a,b; BNEF, 2017; Araújo, 2014; Smil, 2010; Sovacool, 2016; Grubler, 2012).1 Still, the tremendous growth in some specific technologies such as electric vehicles (EV), storage batteries, and solar…”
Adaptation, culture, and the energy transition in American coal country (2018, background): “While historic energy transitions have often taken up to a century to unfold [2,3], the current U.”
Applying institutional theory to the low-carbon energy transition (2016, neutral): “Page 15 realise the benefits of technological innovation requires substantial institutional change in most societies [33].”

Integrating techno-economic, socio-technical and political perspectives on national energy transitions: A meta-theoretical framework (2018, methodology): “The socio-technical perspective closely corresponds to the scholarly tradition covered by Markard, Coenen and their colleagues [10,5,55] by Smith et al. [6] and by Grübler [4].”
Apples, oranges, and consistent comparisons of the temporal dynamics of energy transitions (2016, background): “The phase out of coal-fired steam and related systems in Europe provides an example from the 20th century (see Grubler (2012) which is summarized in Table 2 in Sovacool, 2016).”
