The Subcommittee, previously having heard from government witnesses on geothermal and solar energy programs, received testimony on March 25, 1977 from witnesses from industry that are actively engaged in development of solar and geothermal energy. The hearing on Mar. 28, permitted testimony by witnesses on the nuclear energy programs of ERDA in the context of the proposed 1978 ERDA budget. Continuing the hearings to consider the fiscal year 1978 ERDA authorization request, the April 4 hearing dealt with energy conservation and the nation's ability to become a less-energy-wasteful nation; statements on these subjects came from participants from industry. Senator Melcher from Montana urged the approval of a $125 million authorization for MHD in fiscal year 1978 at the April 5 hearing. The subcommittee on April 19 heard testimony on the ERDA nuclear fusion programs and controlled thermonuclear fusion research. On June 8, hearings were resumed on the nuclear energy portion of the authorization bill. In the final hearing in this series on June 9, 5 experts debated the technical merits of the ERDA nuclear energy program as previously structured and now restructured as proposed by the President.
