October 1975
For many years New England has suffered from high energy
costs which have affected both the pattern and the pace
of economic growth. The oil embargo of 1973 and the
resultant tripling of oil prices intensified this long-standing
problem and in addition awakened the region to the possibility
of future energy shortages. In an attempt to contribute
to the solution of these problems the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston sponsored this conference on New England
and the Energy Crisis.
