Abstract
⺠This article examines the impact of imprecise terminology on US energy policymaking. ⺠Energy security, energy independence, and sustainability are vaguely defined terms. ⺠Coordinated interests manipulate debate and exploit public ignorance. ⺠Taxes, regulation, and innovation incentives are used to apply policy prescriptions. ⺠Vague terminology stifles meaningful public debate over energy policy.
