Proceedings of the public meeting to review the status of the inexhaustible energy resources study
The Inexhaustible Energy Resources Study was requested by ERDA Acting Administrator Robert Fri to examine inexhaustibles as a class. The purpose of the study was to determine how soon inexhaustibles are needed; to formulate strategies for their development and deployment; to identify alternative paths to the utilization of the inexhaustible resources; to serve as a guide in formulating ERDA budget requests; and to project funding profiles associated with each strategy. Dr. James Kane, coordinator of this public meeting, after speaking briefly, introduced Robert Fri, who opened the meeting. Speakers who followed Dr. Fri included Mr. Donald A. Beattie, Acting Assistant Administrator for Solar, Geothermal, and Advanced Energy Systems; Mr. Robert Thorne, Acting Assistant Administrator for Nuclear Energy; Dr. James Leverman, Assistant Administrator for Environment and Safety; and Dr. Bennett Miller, Executive Director, Inexhaustible Energy Resources Study. A question and answer period followed the presentations. (MCW)
