  5. 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

  15. “ Computers on Wheels” Ford to unveil phone app for electric cars (Nov 2010) "Ford is not just a car company," said Derrick Kuzak, head of global product development. "We are a technology company." From The Detroit News: ORNL scientists using magnets to recharge electric cars Nov 30, 2010  (WBIR) Today electric cars have to be plugged into a charger, but the electric vehicle industry is looking to implement the magnetic chargers soon. Scientists hope that one day you would be able to re-charge an electric car by just merging into a charging lane. "This represents the next step in technology to enable wireless charging. Throwing a mat down in the floor of your garage, driving your car over it, and wirelessly charging it.”
