In the first half of the book, the authors frame the energy policy issue by reviewing U.S. energy policy history, identifying the policy-making players, and illuminating the costs, benefits, and economic and political realities of currently competing policy alternatives. The book examines the stakeholders and their attempts to influence energy policy and addresses the role of supply and demand on the national commitment to energy conservation and the development of alternative energy sources. The latter half of the book delves into specific energy policy strategies, including economic and regulatory options, and factors that influence energy policies, such as the importance of international cooperation. Renewed interest in various renewable and nontraditional energy resources?for example, hydrogen, nuclear fusion, biomass, and tide motion?is examined, and policy agendas are explored in view of scientific, economic, regulatory, production, and environmental constraints. This book provides excellent insight into the complex task of creating a comprehensive energy policy and its importance in the continued availability of energy to power our way of life and economy while protecting our environment and national security. 410 0$aPublic administration and public policy ;$v160. 606 $aEnergy policy$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical planning$zUnited States 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aPolitical planning 676 $a333.790973 700 $aGeri$b Laurance R.$01515851 702 $aMcNabb$b David E. 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788575303321 996 $aEnergy Policy in the U.S$93751891 997 $aUNINA
