In an effort to offer financial incentives for the construction of synthetic fossil fuel plants, hearings were held on the Administration's proposal to guarantee loans for commercial-size synthetic-fuel demonstration plants. Robert Fri and others, of ERDA, testified that the demonstration plants will make up about a quarter of future commercial plants. Because those synthetic-fuel demonstration plants will serve to test new technological approaches, they are not expected to be economically viable. A second generation fossil-fuel demonstration plant program will follow by one or two years and benefit from data on economic, environmental, regulatory, and institutional problems from the earlier program. Witnesses from the Administration, representatives of the synthetic-fuel industries, state governors, environmentalists, and economists testified for ten days. Three volumes contain legislative proposals, testimony, and support data. (DCK)
