Introduction. A joke told too many times -- "Little bitty cars" : the Department of Energy, oil decontrol, and the anticonservation backlash -- "Rich, black veins of the future" : the United Mine Workers, railroad deregulation, and the political economy of coal -- "The model-t of reactors" : the Clinch River Breeder Reactor debate in Congress -- "Deliberately inflexible" : the Tellico Dam and endangered species law -- "Hit by inflation like everyone else" : the Tennessee Valley Authority in the era of the market.
