Two Senate bills would establish a federal effort to develop and demonstrate magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) for power generation (S. 1278) and a national engineering development program for coal technology (S. 1925). A hearing on the two bills brought testimony from the coal and MHD interests, the Electric Power Research Institute, DOE, various university research groups, and others. The hearing record includes the text of each bill, two appendices with additional responses and material submitted for the record, and the testimony of the 19 witnesses. Support for the MHD bill notes both private and public sector interest in commercialization as a way to enhance the health, safety, and environmental aspects of power generation. In support of a national coal program, witnesses noted the poor progress made during the 23 years of the Office of Coal Research and the need to improve coal combustion technology.
