STATE ENERGY POLICIES: FEDERAL FUNDS FOR PAPER PROGRAMS

Thomas R. Dye and Dorothy K. Davidson

Review of Policy Research, 1981, vol. 1, issue 2, 255-262

Abstract: Taking their policy cues from the federal government, the states have done little to effectively deal with energy problems. In fact, their programs could be styled “federal funds for paper programs.” inasmuch as the state programs have been written to conform to federal language, but not to attack energy problems in a serious fashion. There is great variation among the states in energy program expenditures, but these are not related to economic or political structures. However, the more urbanized, economically growing, and energy “rich” states spend the most on energy problems.
