US efforts to coordinate energy policy & plan for energy needs since 1973 are reviewed. It is argued that concern in this area has arisen from the Environmental Protection Agency rather than from shortages, & that, for the last eight years, the government has not had a basic energy management strategy. A least-cost energy plan is advocated, that would help obstructed markets work more smoothly, & allocate public funds rationally to energy development. It is described how conservation efforts have achieved only a small fraction of what is possible. 3 Figures. A. Waters
