Energy Act no plan
December 13th, 2005 by Jim JustThe Energy Policy Act of 2005 is too fragmented to be useful. Lest someone be offended, all solutions have been considered equal. This patchwork of legislative micromanagement and vague directives throws taxpayer money at multiple projects. The ensuing energy programs will be dominated by entrenched special interests with big wallets or pop culture appeal. What we need is a dedicated technology development center. Management skills. Technological competence. A sense of mission. A sense of urgency. A program that is both comprehensive and cohesive. And we need a management team that can (hopefully) make science based choices.
