Secretary of Energy James D. Watkins announced on July 26 the Department of Energy's plans to solicit views and begin the consensus-building process necessary to develop a National Energy Strategy (NES). President Bush has directed the department to develop the National Energy Strategy, an action plan to provide the United States with adequate supplies of clean, competitively priced energy into the future. As part of the process to develop the strategy, DOE plans to conduct a series of public hearings, with an initial hearing scheduled for August 1. Additional regional hearings will be held to solicit comments on a wide range of energy issues and recommended solutions. The National Energy Strategy will guide the U.S. in achieving ample supplies of competitively priced energy in a manner sensitive to the environment, security, and health needs of the American public. When completed, this strategy will contain specific short-term, medium-term, and long-term recommendations, and will be updated on an annual basis. A preliminary draft of the National Energy Strategy will be available in April 1990. Following are excerpts from a DOE summary of plans to develop the NES.
