OSTI ID:7365592

This report presents a broad perspective on energy conservation and energy rationing policies. Three major sections make up the report: (1) nature of and occasions for rationing, (2) social organization of energy consumption; and (3) an energy conservation program. The author stresses that although rationing statements are expressed in terms of commodities, a rationing policy is always a set of rules about social activities. The relation between social activities and energy consumption is illustrated. (GRA)
