Summary:

Published under the authority of the International Energy Agency, the report finds a bright future for turning public power utilities over to capitalist forces. It argues that energy security requires adequate and timely investment in the energy infrastructure; that some strategic aspects of security of supply remain within the realm of public policy, such as diversifying supply and regulating any lingering monopolies; and sustained government effort is needed to drive privatization and ensure investment. California they dismiss as an aberration. There is no index. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
