Starting from an analysis of radical uncertainty about the magnitude of global warming and the deployment of technological innovations, the paper explores the potential of a direct intervention by public enterprises as a complement to market systems applied to combating the greenhouse effect. It specifies in which sectors and under what conditions public enterprises could be the instruments for developing new technologies to prevent global warming by internalizeng missions in the public interest.
