4 National Energy Policies: 1933-1969

5 Post Oil Embargo National Energy Policies

6 Changing priorities of energy policy Energy policy is largely a derivative policy with its roots in economic, national security, and environmental policies with shifting priorities among those policies: 1960s: Economic, Environment, Security 1970s: Environment, Economic, Security 1980s: Economic, Security, Environment, 1990s: Environment, Security, Economic Current (?): Security, Economic, Environment

44 The Rise of Hybrid-Electric Drive Vehicles (HEVs)

45 "Ford is not just a car company," said Derrick Kuzak, head of global product development. "We are a technology company." From The Detroit News: “ Computers on Wheels” Ford to unveil phone app for electric cars (Nov 2010) Today electric cars have to be plugged into a charger, but the electric vehicle industry is looking to implement the magnetic chargers soon. Scientists hope that one day you would be able to re-charge an electric car by just merging into a charging lane. "This represents the next step in technology to enable wireless charging. Throwing a mat down in the floor of your garage, driving your car over it, and wirelessly charging it.” ORNL scientists using magnets to recharge electric cars Nov 30, 2010 (WBIR)
