Oilheat and Our Brave New Electric World

摘要

Editors:In 1931,Aldous Huxley wrote A Brave New World,a critical and satirical look at a technological Utopia.Today,environmentalists and liberals are proposing a Utopian carbon-free world.However,for some,it will be a dystopia.This article lays out the path for our industry to stay on”the right side of history.”Over the years,the industry has had a number of challenges,each of which have in some ways undermined the strength and ability of the industry to grow.These challenges include periodic price increases,inroads made by the gas industry,and negative publicity from environmental issues.Fortunately,the industry has found a way through and has been able to maintain itself as an important source of fuel for U.S.consumers.
