This volume, presenting the conference proceedings, contains an array of energy policy ideas, suggestions, and directions. Two fundamental themes evolved from the conference - that effective energy policies cannot be developed in isolation from other relevant policy considerations and that there was an awareness of the need for an integrated approach in planning for the state's energy future. Conference participants evaluated the relevant issues attending each major fuel option through a series of panel sessions. Conventional fuels provided the substantive focus of the Petroleum Products, Natural Gas, Coal, Electricity, and Nuclear Waste Management panels. Each conventional fuel panel addressed the proper role of each fuel type in the state's energy future within the context of national energy policy, fuel availability, New York State conditions, technological status, and relative fuel prices. The role of cost-effective energy conservation measures in the state's future was discussed by the members of the Conservation panel while a realistic appraisal of the energy contribution of certain non-conventional technologies during the next fifteen years formed the basis for the Resource Recovery, Small Hydroelectric, Wood, Solar, and Cogeneration panels.
