ABSTRACT
I 0.1 Introduction The main theme of the papers assembled in this report may be defined as concern that energy policy and planning are needed to meet future challenges on many different scales, ranging from the immediate domestic situation to the immensely complex international scene. Market forces alone are seen to be inadequate to provide acceptable solutions: one reason is that energy interacts strongly with other social and economic factors to a degree which defies any attempt at unravelling. In consequence, energy decisions cannot be taken in isolation.
