An oil & gas industry expert breaks down America’s energy situation and how Americans can get involved to help develop an energy plan. It’s time for an energy revolution! Gasoline prices have been rising, and oil supply disruptions are in question. This is old news, yet nothing has been done to change it. That is because it takes people like you stepping up and getting involved, and Mark A. Stansberry is here to show you how. In his latest book, America Needs America’s Energy, Stansberry offers a frank discussion of the issues at hand, as well as realistic, achievable solutions. America cannot move forward without your involvement and your commitment to develop an energy plan. Presented in direct, no-nonsense language and containing a glossary, sample forms, and other resources on things you need to know about America’s energy situation, America Needs America’s Energy is both a great go-to guide for learning about energy solutions and a wonderful launchpad for how to move forward together in creating the People’s Energy Plan. Praise for Mark A. Stansberry and America Needs America’s Energy “Through his many years of experience, Mark Stansberry successfully challenges us toward developing a comprehensive American energy plan.” —Bill Anoatubby, Governor, the Chickasaw Nation “As Mark states, “The time has come for all of us, the people, to take control of our energy future here in America.” He and I have discussed the importance of moving inevitably toward a hydrogen economy. I believe, after reviewing all the energy options presented in his book, it should move us closer to achieving that possibility. The future is now for us and our children. We cannot wait any longer.” —Woodrow W. Clark II, MA, PhD; Qualitative economist, Clark Strategic Partners; Corecipient of the Nobel Peace Prize “America’s energy policy cannot simply be cheap energy. Mark Stansberry tells us how to break out and assume an energy-secure and dynamic future economy.” —Frank Keating, Governor of Oklahoma, 1995-2003; President, American Bankers Association

In an effort to provide greater awareness of the necessary policy decisions facing our elected and appointed officials, Energy Policy in the U.S.: Politics, Challenges, and Prospects for Change presents an overview of important energy policies and the policy process in the United States, including their history, goals, methods of action, and consequences. In the first half of the book, the authors frame the energy policy issue by reviewing U.S. energy policy history, identifying the policy-making players, and illuminating the costs, benefits, and economic and political realities of currently competing policy alternatives. The book examines the stakeholders and their attempts to influence energy policy and addresses the role of supply and demand on the national commitment to energy conservation and the development of alternative energy sources. The latter half of the book delves into specific energy policy strategies, including economic and regulatory options, and factors that influence energy policies, such as the importance of international cooperation. Renewed interest in various renewable and nontraditional energy resources—for example, hydrogen, nuclear fusion, biomass, and tide motion—is examined, and policy agendas are explored in view of scientific, economic, regulatory, production, and environmental constraints. This book provides excellent insight into the complex task of creating a comprehensive energy policy and its importance in the continued availability of energy to power our way of life and economy while protecting our environment and national security.

James Katz evaluates the implications to the American political system of Congress's struggle over the formulation of a national energy policy during the last decade. He makes an original contribution by analyzing the policy in a wider theoretical and historical context. This combination of history, description, analysis, and theory building makes the book highly informative and useful. Katz shows that although energy supply is one of the greatest problems facing our generation and a key factor in the competition among world powers, Congress has often been unable to form effective energy policies. By examining Congress's reaction to the energy policy initiatives of recent administrations, the organizational and sociological limitations of the nation's ability to grapple with the development of a comprehensive energy policy, and the attempts to build a governmental organization to administer it, Katz provides new insight into Congress as an organization as well as into the proclivities and dynamics of the U.S. policy system. He also applies his own theory of organization to Congress to help predict and explain Congressional behavior.
