ENERGY
In the late 1970s, Resources for the Future produced a set of landmark studies on America’s energy situation. Many of the studies’ major points remain as cogent today as they were then, including the dangers of “picking winners” among competing energy technologies, the need to take into account the full costs associated with different technology options, and the importance of the right price signals.
High prices, the climate challenge, and concern about geostrategic implications of U.S. dependence on oil, have placed energy once again near the top of the public agenda. RFF research on energy focuses on key sectors, including electric power, transportation, and agriculture, as well as evaluating policy options to promote the development and implementation of new technologies. |
