Apollo fallacy and its effect on US energy policy
/ Grossman, Peter Z
Grossman, Peter Z
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication
2009.
Summary/Abstract
US Policy makers have made continual references to the Apollo Program as a model for development of alternative energy technologies. This model, however, is inappropriate for energy policy, and its use is termed the Apollo fallacy. The goal of the Apollo Program was the demonstration of engineering prowess while any alternative energy technology must succeed in the marketplace. Several Apollo-like energy programs have been tried and all have failed at high cost. It is argued that the use of Apollo has political benefits but that it is detrimental to the adoption of potentially effective energy policies.

Energy shocks, crises and the policy process: a review of theory and application
/ Grossman, Peter Z
Grossman, Peter Z
Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
What motivates changes in energy policy? Typically, the process begins with a notable exogenous event, a shock. Often, the shock leads to what is perceived to be a crisis. This review essay surveys theories of crisis policymaking from the social science literature and considers their application to changes in energy policy. Two cases—one from the U.S., the other from Germany—are examined in more detail from the standpoint of the theories discussed. Suggestions are made for improving energy policy analysis in the future.
