In December 1988, the Academy of Sciences of the USSR hosted a group of US energy specialists assembled by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). There was a tour of energy facilities in Siberia and a seminar in Moscow on Global Energy Development and Associated Environmental Impacts. In the spring and summer of 1989, the NAS/Soviet Academy team was asked to address four topics: energy technologies appropriate to industrialized and developing nations; data, data standards, and modeling methods to measure and forecast energy system changes; analyses, measurements, and comparisons of the risks and impacts of technologies and energy cycles; and improved technologies to reduce risks and impacts. This marked an initial effort to establish a forum for scientific and technical experts to study environmental issues associated with the evolution of energy systems. The author discusses the vast energy systems of the two countries, finally speculating on their possible future collaboration in energy as well as environmental considerations.
