Every 30 years or so the National Academy of Sciences
(NAS) assembles a panel of prominent energy scientists, engineers,
and economists to lay out America's energy future. The last time
the NAS did that, however, back in 1980, its auguries didn't work
out so well. Reason Science Correspondent Ronald Bailey
takes a walk down memory lane and makes a safe prediction of his
own: the new NAS energy prognostications will be way off target,
too.
