I do not think the Federal Government is the right organization for
this job. It makes no difference whether the new agency is supposedly
independent or not. The government is only good at implementing or
financing specific technology after the exerts agree it is the right
choice.
I agree with Jed. When I was young and foolish, it appeared that the
Japanese, with a population willing to march in lock step, and a
government which would marshall the resources would eat our economic
lunch. Well Japan has been in a recession over most of the subsequent
time, and America has IMHO, done quite well economically. The best thing
that can happen to encourage energy efficiency is for gasoline to go to
$5 per gallon.
