Has the Time Come to Revive Energy Education?

Marker, Gerald W.

Social Studies, v82 n5 p183-87 Sep-Oct 1991

Observes that little energy education work has been done since the early 1980s. Recommends teaching about (1) the coming transition from petroleum to other energy sources; (2) the time and policy decisions involved in the transition; (3) the need to avoid reliance upon a single, simple solution to energy problems; and (4) the link between energy and environmental concerns.
