Volume 5 is the first part of the State Energy Commission's report on its activities in research and development of both conventional and alternative sources of energy supply, energy demand, and energy conservation. It contains the policies and recommended actions for developing and implementing, in California, specific alternative technologies--solar energy, geothermal energy, fuels from coal and biomass, and fuel cells--and options for power plant cooling. The appendix discusses other energy technologies the application of which in the state is now uncertain. (MCW)
