These hearings were held to determine if pending levels of funding were consistent with programs proposed in the program definition for the Solar Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Act of 1974. Dr. John Teem, Assistant Administrator for Solar, Geothermal, and Advanced Energy Systems, presented the report (ERDA-49) for the proposed programs. Uncertainties in the report were pointed out, including questions on future budget levels and their effects on R and D programs and on making future projections of solar energy production. The ERDA programs were outlined with descriptions of technologies involved and plans for implementing the program. For each technology involved, ERDA's objective, outstanding technical and institutional problems, R and D, major milestones, and a utilization plan were noted. Included in Dr. Teem's presentation were comments on: 1) the responsibilities and relationships of ERDA with other organizations involved with solar energy; and 2) social and economic factors that are being studied by ERDA. The three levels of documentation planned by ERDA for the solar energy program are outlined. Much additional material related to solar energy is included in the appendix. (BLM)
