UK governments' energy policies

Applied Energy, 1987, vol. 28, issue 3, 215-234

Abstract: Some of the ambiguities, lack of coherence, and the resulting peculiarities of successive UK Governments' energy policies are reviewed. Major investments of public finance have occurred in the energy-releasing industries, while equally economic energy-thrift options have been starved relatively of such funds. A long-term (~ 30 year) rolling-plan for the main themes of a radical future policy concerning the supply and cost-effective use of energy is needed, and so some pertinent, preliminary suggestions for adoption are stated. The purpose of this presented set of opinions is to stimulate discussion!
