The United States is in the middle of a storm, the tempest from which it will not emerge until the end of the decade. It’s part of a cycle that has defined the U.S. body politic since the American Revolution. The remaining question, from my point of view, is the nature of the next cycle, in terms of both institutional change and socio-economic change, that will usher in the next 50 or so years.

The next cycle will be determined largely by demography. Last week, The Washington Post published an article showing that, in some states, the number of total deaths outnumbered the number of total births. The obvious problem is that even though life expectancy is increasing, economic productivity tends to decline after the age of 70. This means that greater life expectancy increases consumption while the workforce shrinks. This has the makings of an economic crisis.

The Washington Post article cited recent reports from the Centers for Disease Control and the House Budget Committee on the trend of U.S. death rates exceeding birth rates. By the time Washington notices something, the trend is well underway.

To meet growing energy demands while averting climate change, the world must accelerate innovation, argue experts David M. Hart, Colin Cunliff, Mia Beams, and Akkshath Subrahmanian.

Their new Global Energy Innovation Index measures the contributions of 39 nations to the global process of improving energy technologies. It draws on 16 indicators covering 3 groups of functions that facilitate innovation: knowledge creation and diffusion, market and enterprise formation, and public policy support and legitimation.

European nations dominate the rankings with Sweden topping the list, followed by Denmark, Finland, and Norway. Canada is the only nation outside of Europe to make the top 10.

The United States ranks 13th in the index, just below South Korea.

The bottom of the index is populated by large middle- and lower-income countries, including Brazil, Turkey, India, Mexico, and Indonesia.

"These rankings are consistent with the concept of common but differentiated responsibilities, which is a fundamental tenet of climate diplomacy that places a heavier burden for mitigating climate change on high-income countries that have emitted a disproportionate share of greenhouse gases in the past," note the authors.

"But this rosy interpretation should not be taken as an excuse for complacency. The task of energy innovation is a vital one, and all nations should be upping their games, making the strengths revealed by the index stronger and diminishing their weaknesses."
