Energy Study Favors Slowing Demand Growth Report
A Ford Foundation Energy Policy Project report urges curbing energy demand growth rather than rushing resource development. It notes most fossil fuels lie on public lands and offshore and warns that rapid leasing and development may harm returns and the environment. The study suggests conservation could halve demand growth this century with no major downsides while sustaining living standards. It also criticizes data gaps on national energy resources and cites calls from Sen. Church to press Arab oil price relief and Sen. Abourezk accusing the AEC of withholding solar energy findings.
