Energy crises, which amount to painful combinations of energy
shortages and soaring prices, have struck the United States several
times in recent decades. Each time they have resulted in political
and economic shockwaves because, when gasoline becomes more
expensive, the American public tends to react with anger and
suspicion. Energy crises instantly put related issues at the top of
the nation's agenda, sometimes with dramatic consequences for
public policy. What can we learn from recent history, particularly
as it may predict the role that volatile public opinion will play
throughout the energy policy making process? As The Politics of
Energy Crises demonstrates, one can discern patterns in politics
and policymaking when looking at the cycles of energy crises in the
United States. As such it is the first systematic historical study
of political conflict, public opinion, and organized interest group
and presidential and congressional action on energy issues,
starting with the 1973 OPEC boycott and continuing through the
present day. By charting the commonalities in political battles
during energy crises, the authors make prognoses about what future
energy crises will mean for United States policy.
