Energy policies help shape the energy sector. Economic, political, environmental, and social factors influence their construction, implementation, and enforcement. As these policies change over time, they create varying degrees of incentives for the advancement of technology in the areas of energy production, transmission, and consumption. As such, to understand energy utilization you must not only understand energy policies, but also the factors that influence them and the results they produce. The goal of the Energy Policy Paper is to analyze how a given energy policy relates to energy utilization, both regionally and nationally.

Policy Selection

Begin your paper by selecting and researching an existing US energy policy. Examples include the Energy Independence and Security Act, the Federal Energy Management Program’s (FEMP) Energy Incentive Program, the Clean Air Act, etc. Then write a 400- to 600-word essay that addresses the following:

1. Describe your selected policy and why the policy was enacted.

1. Explain how well the policy has produced its desired outcome.

1. Discuss its impact on associated technology.

1. Describe any seemingly unintentional consequences that have accompanied its implementation.

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Read the article by Nolen (1996) regarding the pre- and post- Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) planning by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) found in your reading materials for this week. Think about how these processes are different and how they are similar. Then, post your initial discussion comments regarding the land management analysis process, whether or not you think this process works for multiple use lands, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the process.
