Chapter 8. Viewpoints of Energy Experts Experts in the energy technology and policy field were surveyed after baseline research of energy economics, technologies, and policies was completed. The survey of experts was performed in order to ensure up-to-date information and to secure viewpoints of experts for development of energy policy recommendations. Experts were chosen based on their practical knowledge of the topic as demonstrated by their academic and professional pursuits. The selected experts work in the energy industry, academia, or within state or federal government. Survey forms were developed and distributed, and the interviews were conducted in person, by phone, and by e-mail. Four specific areas of interest were covered -- the continuing role of hydrocarbons, energy technologies, energy conservation and efficiency, and energy policy. The questionnaires were designed to obtain technical and political information, garner expert opinions and experiences, and define the top U.S. concerns related to an energy technology transition. The survey itemization can be found in Table 8.1. The research team contacted 156 energy experts and received a total of 27 responses for a response rate of 17 percent. Each expert was asked five general questions found in Table 8.1 as well as additional questions based on their specialty. The responses were then tabulated for each question. Specific themes emerged from responses across the different questions, thus the reported findings are not categorized by question and are instead derived from responses to many questions. In general, the findings are presented at an aggregate level as many interviewees wished to remain anonymous. Table 8.1 displays all questions for each energy area, the expertise of respondents, and the number of experts that answered each question. Please note each area was not equally represented in survey responses. Specifically, the technology interviews do not cover all energy technologies discussed in this report. Samples of each survey can be found in Appendix 1. The general findings and the findings for each of the four areas of interest are summarized below. General Findings Energy policy is just as important as any other policy area. Of the 27 interviewees, 26 agreed that energy policy is just as important as or more important than any other policy area. Of these, nine added that energy affects all other policy areas due to its integration into other policy issues.1 Perry Been, a specialist in energy conservation, explained that “energy plays a vital role in just about every other policy issue... whether [it’s] healthcare costs, [the] global economy, [or] climate change. Energy is no longer just a ‘cost of doing business,’ but is rather a ‘manageable cost’ affecting every segment of business, industry, and government.”2 Three others asserted that because of the consequences of inaction, energy policy is at least as important as all other policy issues.3 141PDF Image | Shaping Energy Technology Transition
