Abstract
Energy is a crucial social variable and has sporadically been of interest to sociologists. Recent world events and trends have revived interest and concern. This review traces key themes and arguments in the sociology of energy and critically evaluates the literature. The discussion is organized into four sections: energetic theories of society, macrosociology of energy, microsociology of energy, and energy policy and other special topics. A concluding section assesses the state of the field and speculates on its future directions.

The U.S. oil and gas industry has been dramatically weakened by the recent oil price collapse, and domestic drilling activity reached a new post-World War II low during the summer of 1986, suggesting a strong likelihood of a new U. States energy crisis in the early to middle 1990s.
