National plan for energy research, development and demonstration: creating energy choices for the future. Volume I. The plan
This is the first annual update of the initial report, ERDA-48, of June 1975 (EAPA, 1: 01621). ERDA's proposed National Plan has been expanded in scope and depth of coverage and the basic goals and strategy are refined, but remain essentially intact. The Plan summarizes ERDA's current views on the energy technologies the Nation will need to achieve longer-term energy independence. Specifically, the Plan addresses the paramount role of the private sector in the development and commercialization of new energy technologies; singles out conservation technologies for increased attention that are now ranked with several supply technologies as being of the highest priority for national action; requests a 30 percent increase in the 1976 budget for funding energy R and D; and directs Federal programs to assist industry in accelerating the market penetration of energy technologies with near-term potential. The chapters are: The National Energy Problem and the Nature of Its Solution; Fundamentals of the Plan; The Plan and the Federal Energy RD and D Program for FY 1977; Implementing the Plan: Interrelationships Among Energy RD and D Participants; Implementing the Plan: ERDA Planning System: Factors Influencing the Evolution of the Plan; and Future Evolution of the Plan. Two appendixes, Perspective on World Resources and Net Energy Analysis of Nuclear Power Production, follow. A glossary and a selected bibliography complete the report. (MCW)
