Living in the New Millennium
By Jerry T. Estruth

live in the future.
New
Auto Fuel Economy Standards Needed
By the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
Actions by the OPEC cartel and the resulting oil price shocks of 1973
and 1979 threw our economy into recession, costing millions of jobs

current trends.

By the Alliance to Save Energy

the United States will miss an opportunity to increase its energy productivity
and to give itself a cushion should events take an unexpected turn just
as they did 25 years ago.
The
U.S. Must Lead On Greenhouse Gases
By the World Resources Institute

of carbon dioxide on a per capita basis, and their population-adjusted
stock contribution is likely to remain far above that of developing
countries throughout the coming century.
