The seminar was conducted to expose the urgency and need for an energy policy. Alan McGowan, President of Scientists' Institute for Public Information, expressed a view that due to the lack of an energy policy, persons suffered in the winter of 1977, particularly due to natural gas shortages. Then the solar aspect of the built environment and of heating systems was addressed. Panelists correlating these views were Roberta Hornig; Scott Bush; Dr. J. Murray Mitchell; Dr. Gerald E. Bennington; Joseph C. Dawson; and Wilson Clark.Questions posed by the audience were answered. (MCW)
