For more than thirty years, the government of the United States has been trying to reduce the nation’s voracious consumption of petroleum by regulating the fuel economy of motor vehicles. What have been the difficulties with this conservation program? And why have other advanced countries obtained better results with a different mix of policies? Dr. Nivola will assess these important questions and the lessons to be learned from them.
His work has been supported by grants or fellowships from the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and others.
