Professor David G. Victor is quoted in a New York Times story about energy policies and election campaign politics:
“Politicians talk a strong game on energy policy,” said David G. Victor, the director of the program on energy and sustainable development at Stanford University. But, “they focus on bromides like ‘energy independence’ that poll well yet are meaningless or harmful in practice. And then the political system dithers on action that would yield real leverage on oil consumption.”
