Renewable energy industries. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and Power of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, Second Session, December 16, 1986
Nine witnesses representing the renewable energy industries, investors, and government agencies testified at a hearing to review implementation of the Renewable Energy Industry Development Act (REIDA), which requires federal task force to help coordinate market development for the fledgling industry. At issue was the Reagan administration's policies to emphasize fossil and nuclear fuels at the expense of renewable energy sources. This has had a negative effect on both foreign and energy policy. The $6 billion-a-year industry must compete for international markets virtually without government support. The witnesses described how the industry has been faring. Material submitted in response to questions and other correspondence follows the testimony.
