Energy Conservation programs which seek to increase the efficiency of energy using capital stock should be assessed with respect to future as well as current energy prices. A framework for evaluating conservation policies is presented which addresses the uncertainty over future petroleum prices. Possible effects of limited oil supply on the U.S. economy, less developed countries, and the international banking system are also examined.
