Fifty Years of Energy Policy

Published 2024-05-02
Please join CSIS President and CEO, Dr. John J. Hamre, on Thursday, May 2 at 4:00pm EDT for a conversation with the Honorable John M. Deutch about his newest book, Fifty Years of Energy Policy, 1973-2023: Lessons for the Future, followed by a book signing and reception.

In his book, Dr. Deutch demonstrates how analyzing the consequences of past policy decisions can help anticipate likely outcomes of different policy choices today. He discusses energy developments and policies from the Nixon to the Biden administrations, while noting five distinctive features of the past fifty years that remain relevant to current energy policy assessments.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.

  • What do John Deutsch and Noam Chumpsky have in common? A - MIT and one other thing at what we now classify to be at the +4 Sigma level of the Public Debate Information Model, which is of course undiscussable. Little else. John passed me once in Union Station in 2017 DC — very quickly. He was looking for something. I still laugh. Cheers! 27:00. Did John ever read Norbert Wiener’s (MIT) posthumously published book Innovation? I reread it a few years ago. FYI — IRA grants make my skin crawl. Why? Attached unrelated agendas are remoras — unnecessary costs of doing business and Trojan Horses for more regulation, not less regulation. 39:20. Today is a cloudy and cool day. There is another variable. May I recommend sitting in the bench in front of the MIT Academic Quad (or looking at my videos of same) and thinking about data inputs to climate models. Turn around and one can see Norbert’s old office, down the hall from John’s father’s former office.
