Volume III of the hearing record covers six days of testimony by 34 witnesses representing DOE, energy industries, energy research institutions, and energy users, on the DOE budget for fossil energy, conservation, and renewable energy. Support for conservation and renewable energy sources, at $89.1 million and $190.8 million, establishes a stable funding level, while the overall budget supports a national policy of broadening the mix of energy technologies. Witnesses described new industrial processes, such as direct casting of steel and photovoltaic improvements for solar power generation. Tennessee Valley Authority spokesmen described progress in fluidized-bed combustion, and others told of work on fuel cells, gas technologies, and other projects.
