Energy Policy and Energy Efficiency: Responding to Our Energy Challenges
Three primary issues are driving current energy policy debates: the role of energy in global climate change, the security issues associated with the world-wide dependence on insecure sources of energy supply, and the high costs of oil and natural gas. Although there are no silver bullets to respond to these challenges, there are important actions that the United States and individual states can take. Among the most important are energy efficiency measures. Professor Sweeney will discuss the overall energy policy status, focusing on energy efficiency as the cleanest, cheapest, and fastest way to address some of the challenges.

James L. Sweeney is director of the Precourt Institute for Energy Efficiency; professor of management science and engineering; senior fellow of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research; senior fellow of the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; and senior fellow of the Stanford Institute for International Studies.

At Stanford he has served as chairman of the department of engineering-economic systems and operations research, director of the energy modeling forum, chairman of the Institute for Energy Studies, and director of the Center for Economic Policy Research (now the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research). He holds a BS from MIT in electrical engineering and a PhD from Stanford in engineering-economic systems.
