Title: Analysis of Federal incentives used to stimulate energy production

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6271807

In March 1978, Battelle published An Analysis of Federal Incentives Used to Stimulate Energy Production, concentrating primarily on solar energy incentives. Since that time, considerable discussion has centered around the analysis contained there. This revision identifies those areas that have been revised so that individuals who reviewed the March edition may note the changes without re-reading the entire document. Changes which affect the study overall include the addition of 1977 data to the tables and the revision of dollar values previously in terms of constant 1976 dollars to constant 1977 dollars. A chapter which analyzes Federal incentives to encourage public utility generation and transmission of electricity has been added. Other changes are contained in the nuclear chapter which now includes estimates of the incentives provided to the nuclear industry from government sponsored educational programs and the Naval Reactors Program. Conclusions with respect to solar energy policy are presented in a final chapter. There are 5 appendices, 234 references, and an extensive bibliography.
