Barker, B

A meeting of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Advisory Council and guests from basic industries provided a forum on transition in American manufacturing. The worldwide automation imperative has profound implications for energy and labor. Among the concerns raised were the sense that the US is still holding to its notion of a closed economy, the diminished role of manufacturing in the US economy, and two central questions: where is energy consumption headed, and can electricity or electric-based technologies play a role in the revitalization: EPRI's major role is developing and transferring new technologies to the utilities. 1 figure, 1 table.
