Bibliography Relevant to DOE R&D Policy, Congressional Mandates, R&D Results, and Evaluations

Pursuant to the task statement, the committee reviewed the literature on the history of DOE, including its legislative history; on evaluations of the Department and its R&D programs conducted over its 22-year history; and on policy studies conducted by people inside and outside the government. In addition, committee members talked to a wide array of people across DOE and in the industry and academic communities who are knowledgeable about DOE’s energy efficiency (EE) and fossil energy (FE) R&D programs.

One conclusion from the literature and discussions with experts was that no appropriate and comprehensive framework for evaluating benefits of the EE and FE R&D programs was discovered. As a consequence, the committee developed its own evaluation framework, described in detail in Appendix D.

In legislation appropriating funds for DOE's fiscal year (FY) 2000 energy R&D budget, the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee directed an evaluation of the benefits that have accrued to the nation from the R&D conducted since 1978 in DOE's energy efficiency and fossil energy programs. In response to the congressional charge, the National Research Council formed the Committee on Benefits of DOE R&D on Energy Efficiency and Fossil Energy.

From its inception, DOE's energy R&D program has been the subject of many outside evaluations. The present evaluation asks whether the benefits of the program have justified the considerable expenditure of public funds since DOE's formation in 1977, and, unlike earlier evaluations, it takes a comprehensive look at the actual outcomes of DOE's research over two decades.
