12 National Energy Policies: Roosevelt, Franklin D., : 1939 presidentially appointed National Resources Planning Board recommended support of research to promote "efficiency, economy, and shifts in demand to low-grade fuels and that a national energy resources policy should be prepared that to look beyond policy directed at specific fuels. Truman, Harry, presidentially appointed Materials Policy Commission (known as the Paley Commission after its Chairman William S. Paley) concluded that the U.S. did not possess all material and mineral resources necessary and called for an assessment and scientific plan for utilization of natural resources. Eisenhower, Dwight, Report from the Cabinet Advisory Committee on Energy Supplies and Resources Policy. Kennedy, John F., National Fuels and Energy Study (commissioned by the U.S. Senate). Johnson, Lyndon, Resources Policies for a Great Society Report to the President by the Task Force on Natural Resources.

13 Changing priorities of energy policy Energy policy is largely a derivative policy with its roots in economic, national security, and environmental policies with shifting priorities among those policies: 1960s: Economic, Environment, Security 1970s: Environment, Economic, Security 1980s: Economic, Security, Environment, 1990s: Environment, Security, Economic Current (?): Security, Economic, Environment 13
