Abstract

A decade has passed since the Arab oil embargo forced Americans into the realization that our standard of living and perhaps our form of government were endangered unless energy availability and consumption could be brought under control. In the interim, government program and research priorities in energy have stressed technological solutions and largely ignored social research perspectives on energy use despite the large energy savings that could result from changes in consumer energy behavior.
