This book presents an analytic history of American energy policy, examining policy failures and how the policy process itself leads to failure.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket; Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder; Might makes right; What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander; Where there is smoke there is fire; Too many cooks spoil the broth; All that glitters is not gold; Better safe than sorry; Gold is where you find it; A penny saved is a penny earned.

Originally published in 1977, Energy II provides a comprehensive and updated bibliography of energy in the context of the social sciences. Following on from the first bibliography published in 1975, this book offers a fully updated bibliography, and argues that energy problems are best seen in the context of social phenomena, such as social attitudes, social behaviours, social institutions and structures and populations. The book provides a unique list of references that examine energy problems outside of the context of social factors.
