Fundamental principles of energy policy

The essence of contemporary stage in energoevolution of the humanity resides in the transition from focus on quantity of energy production and consumption to quality of energy efficiency, optimization and economy. As the main task of energy policy, inten-sification of energetics demands significant advances in the scientific knowledge of the subject. Currently, science has no satisfactory definition of energy, although some manifesta-tions of this universal property of all material objects are widely used in manufacturing and daily life. To this day, discussions about energy are limited to multifaceted dis-course without unifying scientific theory, whereas various energy problems are solved by technological craftsmanship of intuitively acting individuals. This discourse treats the central concept of the theory of energetics, energy itself, mainly from mythological positions. Strictly materialistic concepts of energy are both extremely rare and inconsistent. The proposed artical plan aims to advance theory of energy as a con-structive basis of technological energy development and to facilitate modernization of the energy policy in accordance with the new methodology.
