U.S.A. Energy Policies at the Turn of the Century

Although much has been written about the profligate use of fossil fuels in the world, and the USA in particular, at the turn of the century, most of this information and analysis has been suppressed by the Authorities, especially information regarding the role of U.S. energy and automobile corporations in determining U.S. energy policies.

Readers are invited to submit potential Holopedia and/or surviving Wikipedia entries on U.S.A energy policies at the turn of the century. Of particular interest are:
(1) the failure of the U.S. government to promote energy conservation by establishing even modest fuel efficiency standards for automobiles or tax incentives for business and home energy conservation measures
(2) the failure of the government and the energy industry to carry out research, development, and implementation of renewable energy sources
(3) the excessive windfall profits reaped by energy companies in the wake of growing fuel shortages
(4) the government’s complicity in promoting highly profitable oil and coal extraction projects in areas (such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) and by methods (such as mountain top removal coal mining) that destroyed important national resources with only modest positive impact on energy shortages.
