AB  - The United States Energy Policy: As Determined By Non-ExpertsThe Need For Technological Literacy For Non-Engineering StudentsAbstract:         There are many major environmental issues challenging the world today, including globalwarming and a finite amount of fossil fuels. Due to these issues the methods used by the United States toproduce energy and the technology behind these methods are becoming increasingly important. There areseveral committees and departments whose role it is to choose what the United States will allow or investin when it comes to producing and distributing energy to the citizens. These include the SenateCommittee on Energy and Natural Resources, the Select Committee on Energy Independence and GlobalWarming, the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, andthe Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These organizations solicit advice from experts in the energy sector,but our policy makers are rarely technically literate in regards to the science or engineering aspects behindthe decisions they make. This paper seeks to examine the decisions being made in this political arena aswell as the impacts of decisions made regarding these policies by non-experts. This paper also seeks toidentify the value and importance of technological literacy in policy makers as can be achieved byencouraging technical literacy for non-engineering students in the classroom today
