Abstract
The politics surrounding the adoption of a national energy strategy, which has been drafted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) but has yet to overcome the hurdle of congressional approval, are examined. The draft disclosed to the press strongly emphasizes energy production (by fossil, nuclear, and other sources) over efficiency and conservation. The fate of renewable and alternative energy programs in the free-market environment of the Reagan and Bush administrations is discussed. Some programs that have managed to survive, namely, the development of clean coal technology and of light-water nuclear reactors, are considered, Finally, organizational problems within the DOE are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
