Where might we choose to go instead? How can we find out? Addressing these questions can reveal deeper ques tions?and a few answers?that are easy to grasp, yet rich in insight and in international relevance. This paper will seek to explore such basic concepts in energy strategy by outlining and contrasting two en ergy paths that the United States might follow over the next 50 years?long enough for the full implications of change to start to emerge. The first path resembles present federal policy and is essentially an extrapolation of the recent past. It relies on rapid expansion of centralized high technologies to increase supplies of energy, especially in the form of electricity. The second path com bines a prompt and serious commitment to efficient use of energy, rapid development of renewable energy sources matched in scale and in energy quality to end-use needs, and special transitional fossil-fuel technologies. This path, awhole greater than the sum of its parts, di verges radically from incremental past practices to pursue long-term goals. >> --- # Note. --- # Annotations%% begin annotations %% %% end annotations %% %% Import Date: 2024-02-07T22:16:30.130+01:00 %%
