The Subcommittee On Advanced Energy Technologies and Energy Conservation R, D, and D reviewed the administration's 1979 budget for the above DOE programs. On Jan. 26, 1978 the budget on solar electric energy production was investigated. On Jan. 30, the conservation budget of the DOE involving all sectors was examined. Materials on new concepts, impact assessments, data analysis, and regulations are presented. On Feb. 1, testimony was given concerning the organization and role of the new Office of Energy Research within DOE. After reviewing these issues, John M. Deutch reported on the Solar Energy Research Institute and the regional centers. On Feb. 2, the increased (23%) geothermal program budget testimony included information on fund allocation, program emphasis, and the loan guarantee program. To continue an examination of the $1 billion energy conservation budget, the Feb. 3 hearing involved electric energy systems, energy storage systems, conservation research and technology, district-heating implementation, and utility insulation services. On Feb. 6, Mr. George Lawrence presented the American Gas Association's analysis of the DOE budget for 1979 and offered recommendations; also, Mr. William H. Podolny presented views from United Technologies Corp. on fuel-cell power plants and combustion gas turbines; and finally, Professor Simpson Linke from Cornell commented on development of alternative energy storage technologies. In the overall collection here, statements by experts in all fields are included. (MCW)
