Showing papers in "Energy Policy in 1974"

TL;DR: In this article, the problems in constructing energy costs, the aims of such studies and the methods used are examined, as well as examples of energy costs which indicate the care required in interpreting and using published results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the US input-output table to trace all the inputs to each industrial process back to requirements for primary energy, and discussed the relative advantages of the inputoutput approach and the process analysis approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the energy supply industries in the UK and examine implications for the future, and recommend that more attention be paid to materials recycling and to the development of renewable energy sources to avoid continuing inflation of energy use.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive analysis of the relations between forms of energy and types of plant, as well as correlation between various branches of energy, and different consumer categories, invite the use of a long-term optimisation model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the general use of analytical approaches to energy policy evaluation and review specifically some of the techniques in the Total Energy Resource Analysis (TERA) model which has been developed for the US gas industry to assist in evaluating policy issues relative to gas supply and demand.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present possible answers to these questions and also highlight difficulties that could arise in the cost and availability of refractory metals and alloying elements for construction of magnetically-confined plasma reactors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature on coal, petroleum and electric power industries in the People's Republic of China and related developments in these industries to overall economic social and political policies in China.

TL;DR: In this paper, Tantram charts the development of fuel cells from early laboratory experiments to the highly efficient, but expensive cells used in the Apollo space programme and assesses their future commercial prospects.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to peer through the very fluid short-term situation to find possible ways in which the Japanese might cope with the longer-term problems of import-dependence in an unsettled world.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors illustrate the need to forecast not only the impacts of supply and demand, but also the control over supply by a group of countries whose interests are not always uniform, depending on political and economic factors.

TL;DR: The authors argued that the difficulties of world energy problems arise from government policies in both consuming and producing countries and stressed the importance of systematic economic analysis to rational evaluation of public policy, and showed some of the defects of alternative arguments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that individual costbenefit analyses, while an improvement on traditional methodology, could be more economic by establishing general rules through standardisation of plant design, which could be used to standardize plant design.

TL;DR: Tanzania is a typical, poor African country, having barely developed commercial resources of fuel and power as mentioned in this paper, and this article outlines, in an East African context, what is known of these resources and the plans which exist for their development.

TL;DR: In this article, de Carmoy traces the rapid economic expansion of Iran made possible by a well-planned consistent and highly successful national energy policy and concludes that Iran was the first oil state to move against domination by a major foreign oil company.

TL;DR: The Pickering nuclear power station with a total capacity of 2000 MW demonstrates the viability of the CANDU system, which employs heavy water as moderator with natural uranium as fuel.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors trace the history of the coal industry from its decline in the 1960s to the substantial assistance given in the Coal Industry Act of 1973, and discuss the 1974 miner's wage settlement in relation to the future importance of coal for both the UK and the EEC.

TL;DR: The authors examines three distinct classes of energy resources for the USA from geographical and political points of view and suggests that careful reappraisal of these categories could lead to future prices which, thought twice those of a year ago, would be lower than the current "free market" prices.
