  4. End of Camelot - The Dark Ages, 1986-2005 By 1986, the oil scare subsided and energy policy was reversed • Recommitted to fossil fuels and nuclear power • DOE R&D renewable energy budget cut by 80% • Solar DHW system removed from the White House • Eliminated tax breaks for all renewable technologies • - left tax breaks for oil, gas, nuclear
