This analysis is based on an application of the Energy Supply Planning Model, developed by Bechtel for the National Science Foundation over a twenty-month period from December 1973 to August 1975. The continuing development and application of the model is being supported by ERDA, Office of the Assistant Administrator for Planning and Analysis (ERDA/APA). The work reported here represents an application of the model to candidate energy futures provided by ERDA/APA and is the first contribution to ERDA/APA planning activities under the current contract. The work was performed in order to support ERDA in its April 1976 update of ''A National Plan for Energy Research, Development, and Demonstration.'' The sensitivity of resource requirements to the various energy futures is particularly emphasized. Fuel mixes in two cases, limited imports and free imports, are made to 1990. Then, three sensitivity cases--synthetic fuels, combinations, and nuclear moratorium--are made, being kept at ''limited imports case'' levels but the sources of this energy are varied. Detailed results are given. (MCW)
