Abstract

The examination of a broad range of major electric energy policy questions facing the US and other developed countries brings the issues into perspective and offers insight into how some of the key problems can be resolved. An overview of the history and technical background of the electric utility industry is followed by discussions of the key issues: the role of government, jurisdictional issues, four socio-economic issues of power plants, public reactions to siting cases, the rationale for power reserves, and load management strategies for the 1980s. Policy comments and conclusions are offered after each topic. (DCK)
