Abstract
Policy-making is always as much art as science, but in the field of energy policy, the inability of policy-makers to learn from their mistakes is extremely disheartening. Many of the great minds in science and economics have been repeatedly embarrassed by their misinterpretation of developments, particularly in oil and gas and, as a result, huge amounts have been spent on inappropriate goals and technologies. By reviewing these mistakes, a better understanding of the appropriate targets and methods for energy-policy making can be formed.
