Electric-energy systems and energy storage. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy Research and Production of the Committee on Science and Technology, US House of Representatives, Ninety-Seventh Congress, First Session, December 8, 1981, No. 75
The major issue confronting witnesses was the administration's intention of eliminating federal funding for research and development (R and D) and turning the work over to the private sector. Five representatives of the electric-power industry responded to this proposal and to committee questions. They pointed out the need for a continued federal role in long-term, high-risk research and the financial strain of accommodating ongoing research programs to changes in federal funding. They spoke of the industry's record of responding to national needs, particularly in nuclear programs, and of the federal responsibility for keeping US energy program competitive with those of countries whose governments participate fully with industry to achieve national goals. The hearing record includes the transcript, associated correspondence, a Library of Congress report on the energy-storage program, and supporting testimony for the record. (DCK)
