Energy, natural resources, and the environment in the eighties. [Booklet]

Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1980

OSTI ID:6249050

The report is divided into two chapters. Chapter 1, The Energy Predicament, is made up of the following sections: consumption patterns; supply patterns; energy pricing policies: the 1970's; policy options for the 1980's; the case for conservation; and opportunities for conservation. Sections of Chapter 2, The Environmental Challenge, are entitled: toxic substances; land use; the global challenge; regulations and incentives; costs and benefits; environmental mediation; and a conserver society. It is the conclusion of the Panel that US energy policy for the 1980's should be directed, as the first order of business, toward achieving far higher levels of energy efficiency. There is no easy technical or resource fix, and indications are that a relaxation of government regulations will not result in new supplies gushing into the market. (JGB)
