Joseph M. Dukert

Joe Dukert is an independent energy analyst whose knowledge and experience go beyond oil, natural gas, and coal-based electricity to include nuclear power and various forms of renewable energy, as well as energy efficiency. He has helped to develop numerous critical U.S. government documents and reports dealing with energy and the environment, including the national energy policies published under a succession of U.S. presidents from both parties.

Dr. Dukert is currently president of the U.S. Association for Energy Economics and a senior associate with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. His latest book, Energy, deals with the problems of trying to reconcile the policy goals of adequacy, affordability, reliability, environmental acceptability, and time-deadlines in an increasingly interdependent world.
