Fisher, J L

It is suggested that the U.S. needs a broad statement of energy goals to go along with the economic goals established in the Employment Act of 1946, the Full Employment Act so called, and to go along with the environmental goals stated in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, setting up the Council on Environmental Quality, the environmental impact statements, and the rest. The energy goals for the nation should include these: (1) low-cost, low-price reliable energy supply; (2) environmental protection; (3) national security; (4) energy conservation; (5) an efficient, competitive energy industry; (6) some protection against dislocations resulting from energy shifts, retraining for miners, regional development programs, unemployment compensation, and the rest; and (7) vigorous, imaginative R and D programs.
