Description:The massive energy transition the world has been undergoing since 1973 continues to be full of surprises. Past predictions of energy independence based on a diversity of supplies; of the unlikelihood that conservation based on higher energy prices would be much help; of the prospect that OPEC countries would drive prices higher & higher have all proven wrong. Many people now interpret the current surplus in the oil market as evidence that the power of OPEC is broken & the energy crisis is essentially over. This prediction is undoubtedly wrong too. What is true is that energy will remain high on the policy agenda of most countries for a decade & probably longer. New sources of supply require vast sums of capital & long periods of time to bring to the market. The promise of renewable sources of energy at reasonable prices remains in the future. conservation in reaction to high energy prices has been the most successful public response to the energy transition to date, greatly overshadowing the efforts of governments. Nevertheless, governments & international agencies have begun to act. We note that the United Nations is holding a Conference on New & Renewable Sources of Energy at Nairobi, in August 1981. It is the first international efort in some time to attempt to fashion strategies for international action; & we hope that it will be successful. In the belief that informed public opinion is both the prerequisite & the guarantee of effective public policy, The Rockefeller Foundationn is pleased to support the work of Ruth Sivard in preparing this volume. Revised & expanded from an earlier version published in 1979, the volume is intended to provide an overview of the world energy situation & prospects for the future. Its merit, in our judgement, lies in the useful way it marshals complex facts & issues for the lay reader. The foundation takes no formal positions on matters of public policy & therefore does not, by its sponsorship, necessarily endorse the substantive views expressed in this report. We are pleased, howerver, to support this useful work with the hope that it will contribute greatly to public understanding of these complex & vexing issues.--Edwin A.
