This, the third edition of the Harvard Business School project report continues the theme of a balanced energy system to replace dependence on imported oil. The revision incorporates new material in response to shifts in energy relationships and changes in energy assumptions. The chapters cover the shift from easy oil production to a future of uncertainty and hostility; the status of natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy sources; the key energy source available from conservation; the importance of giving solar energy an economic chance; the need to remove the adversarial approach to energy policy; and a challenge for a balanced policy to guide an economically sound and politically acceptable transition. An appendix examines the limits to econometric modeling. 490 references, 4 figures, 21 tables. (DCK)
