Long-term energy policy, encompassing a 50-year time frame, is analyzed in the context of how much energy will be needed, how much people will pay for it, how the demand can be met, and what are the consequences of producing and using energy. The analysis shows that energy conservation deserves top priority and that fossil fuels should be limited to the production of liquid fuels for transportation. Other recommendations are for stronger security regulations, solar energy for space heating, and decentralization of supply systems. The possibility of an energy crisis in this century will increase if a long-range plan is sacrificed to risk possibilities and excuses. (DCK)
