Energy Policy: Gathering Energy
John Mitchell, June 2006
The World Today, Volume 62, Number 6
Energy has become a bestseller in the policy market. President Vladimir Putin has chosen it as the theme of his G8 presidency to make the St Petersburg summit sparkle and G8 finance ministers were already turning their thoughts to the topic in January. The interest is about more than high prices. New consumers, new discoveries and new technologies are part of a potent political mix. Governments from Europe to Asia are looking for fresh policies and in his State of the Union address United States President George Bush caught the headlines by talking of America's 'addiction to oil'.
