风能和碳捕获是两种截然不同而又非常重要的新兴能源技术；在各种低碳能源技术中，它们被认为将为气候调节作出贡献。本报告将对美国四个州（马萨诸塞、明尼苏达、蒙大拿、德克萨斯）发展风能和碳捕获的社会经济环境进行了比较分析。为了能够对新兴能源技术在州一级所面临的社会经济环境进行比较评估，本研究结合比较了针对州级能源利益相关者的访谈和州级报纸的媒体分析。在半结构化的访谈中，州级能源政策参与者将基于它们所在州的独特环境解释它们对风能和碳捕获的认知。这种致力于考察两种能源技术所面临的社会政治环境的混合研究方法有助于帮助我们更好的理解能源技术创新及其在不同地区的论述在次国家级的变动。

    Wind power and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are two very different critical and emerging energy technologies considered among the portfolio of low-carbon energy technologies with potential to contribute to climate change mitigation.  This presentation reviews a comparative analysis of the sub-national socio-political context for wind and CCS development in four very different states in the United States: Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, and Texas. To comparatively assess the state-level socio-political context for emerging energy technologies, this research combines and compares analysis of interviews of state-level energy stakeholders with media analysis of state-level newspapers.  In semi-structured interviews, state-level energy policy interveners were asked to explain their perceptions of wind and CCS within their unique state context.  The results of these interviews are compared and contrasted with results of content analysis of newspaper coverage of both wind and CCS technology exploring the framing of energy technology discourse in the print media in each state.  This mixed-methods approach to characterizing the socio-political context for these two energy technologies contributes to improved understanding of sub-national variation in energy technology innovation and regional discourses associated with emerging energy technologies.
