Energy-Nonenergy Input Substitution in Western U.S. Agriculture: Some Findings

The Energy Journal, 1987, vol. 8, issue 1, 133-146

Abstract: The crucial role of energy as an input in the production process has engaged the serious attention of energy planners and researchers in recent years. This was especially true after the OPEC oil embargo of 1973 and the natural gas shortages in the winter of 1976-1977. The prospect of similar energy supply disruptions and price escalations in the future has reinforced the need for adopting measures to reduce energy consumption.
