THE CRISIS IN ENERGY POLICY

Аннотация

I am grateful to James Schlesinger and Charles Duncan, the fi rst two Secretaries of Energy, for their guidance and support during my ser vice in the Carter administration as Director of Energy Research and Undersecretary. Both were unusual leaders who infl uenced my approach to public ser vice. Jim Schlesinger, because of our common background in the Department of Defense and the intelligence community, has deepened my understanding of the international linkage between energy and security. As a member of the President’s Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee, the President’s Council on Science and Technology during the second administration of Presidents Reagan and Clinton, the Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board, the Defense Science Board, as well as innumerable advisory committees and governing boards of Department of Energy laboratories, I have profi ted from the knowledge of leading experts in every conceivable energy technology.
