Public Purpose or Private Benefit?: The Politics of Energy Conservation (Issues in Environmental Politics)

Editorial Reviews
Card catalog description
Public purpose or private benefit? examines energy conservation policies in six countries: Denmark, the Netherlands, the UK, the US, Australia and Japan. It analyses the role of governments via incentives, regulation and energy pricing, and the nature of energy policy communities in which key players include electricity and gas utilities, whose main interest is selling more energy. By examining the change of emphasis from energy conservation in the 1970s to the 1980s focus on energy efficiency and its private benefits to consumers, plus the changing dynamics of energy markets in the 1990s due to liberalisation and climate change concerns, the book provides a unique analysis of the politics of energy conservation over three decades. It will be of interest to energy policy makers, analysts and activists as well as to students of energy and environmental policy.
