Energy Survey of North America
- Energy Survey of North America
The Energy Survey of North America was done by the Technical Alliance, the leader of which was Howard Scott. This survey was composed of data from government and private sources. The data focused on physical economic indicators such as raw resource extraction, manufacturing stats, and energy usage. This project was first started in the winter of 1918/1919.

When this survey was completed, Technocracy Incorporated was started to inform the public of the findings of the survey, and to promote the idea of creating a Technate in North America as the basis of a new type of society using an Energy Accounting system. [Cutler J. Cleveland, [http://www.eoearth.org/article/Biophysical_economics "Biophysical economics"] , "Encyclopedia of Earth", Last updated: September 14, 2006.] . The conclusions of the survey are presented in the Technocracy Study Course first published in 1934, which contains a synopsis of the energy survey and also basic information about science and the proposal (technate), for an alternative Non-market economics culture, which the group termed a scientific social design.
