S. David Freeman, Chairman, the Tennessee Valley Authority, criticizes the nuclear industry for what he considers childish reactions to competition from newly funded energy alternatives when the bulk of research and development funds continue to go for nuclear power. Freeman favors the use of both nuclear and coal-fired power plants on the grounds that neither option can supply the entire demand without serious environmental and security problems. He considers solar energy to be technologically and economically feasible for some applications and a serious competitor to breeder and fusion reactors in the future. He sees time as the real enemy in resolving the energy crisis and emphasizes the importance of having the proponents of specific energy sources work together to resolve the conflicts that are preventing progress. He would resolve the breeder debate by (1) using a fuel cycle that discourages proliferation, (2) incorporates the known state-of-the-art, and (3) is funded equally by the public and the utilities.
