Klappentext This book presents an analytic history of American energy policy, examining policy failures and how the policy process itself leads to failure. Zusammenfassung Grossman analyses the serial failures of US energy policy! failures that have been extraordinarily wasteful! with little learned by policy makers in the process. Congresses and presidential administrations have repeatedly backed failed policies because they promise unrealistic solutions that are politically expedient with little chance of practical success.
