Book excerpt: This is a report on the cost of meeting the energy needs of low-income Americans during the winter of 1979-1980, with projections of expenditures for the 1980-1981 heating season. The report deals with households at or below 125 percent of the federal poverty line. It uses data from federal government and federally-supported survey sources. Expenditures are estimated and projected for each of the three major fuels used in space heating of homes—natural gas, fuel oil, and electricity. Alternative estimates have been made based on different assumptions as to conservation for the winter just past and as to price, weather, and conservation for the winter which lies ahead.
Download or read book High Energy Costs written by Hans H. Landsberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two major concerns in the energy policy debate relate to economic efficiency and whether the price should indicate to each consumer the true cost to the economy of using more energy, and the second is that of economic equity where it is argued that energy is a basic necessity for survival and the government has the responsibility to provide assistance for lower-income families. Originally published in 1982, this volume focuses on the uneven impact of rising energy costs on different income groups, regions, and household locations. This collection of papers helps to fill the knowledge gaps about the amount and distribution of household energy expenditure. The volume is organised with a paper introducing each topic followed by one or two discussants’ remarks further examining the issues at hand. It is a valuable title for students interested in environmental studies and national policy.

Book excerpt: Now we are abruptly against an important policy question: Do we have two laudable goals which are fundamentally inconsistent with one another? Is it possible to blunt the impact of rapidly rising energy prices on some of the customers without subverting the goals of prudent use in the long term? To answer this question we must step back and look at fundamental empirical evidence of the relationship between prices and the use of electricity; that is the subject of the first section. Second, we look especially at the evidence of differential impact by level of use or level of income. Finally, we will review in particular an electricity lifeline rate that was adopted in Los Angeles and evaluate it against these two social objectives of efficiency and improved well-being of lower income individuals. Without intending to give away the plot, I will tell you at the outset that there will be some pleasant surprises. Our analysis indicates that, at least under some circumstances, public policies can be designed to help the poor through the pricing mechanism without destroying the efficiency gains that are generally found with market prices that reflect the full costs of production and supply.
