The
public
strongly
favours
it;
companies
want
to
be
seen
as
green;
smart
developers
and
financiers
will
find
ways
to
make
money
from
it;
and
global
warming
is
real.
But
with
austere
years
ahead
at
the
federal
level,
the
executive
branch
and
Congress
will
be
unable
to
promote
clean
technology
and
innovation
to
the
extent
they
have
since
Barack
Obama
took
office.
Polls
give
the
President
a
slight
edge
in
his
race
against
Republican
Mitt
Romney.
Barring
a
surprise,
the
next
President
will
face
a
divided
Congress,
with
Republicans…
