Page 3799 - ... scale. However, solar energy does have the potential to contribute significantly to the national goal of long-term energy self-sufficiency while minimizing environmental degradation. In addition, solar energy technology would be an exportable item for use in other energy deficient areas of the world. Although the full impact of solar energy will probably not be visible for a decade or more, the economic viability of several important applications, such as Heating and Cooling of Buildings, Wind...

Page 3770 - Blueprint of the potential production capabilities of the geothermal industry and the resources necessary to achieve these levels of production. The task force evaluated two alternative strategies. The first was "business-as-usual, " which assumed the continuation of all current policies that could affect levels of geothermal production.
Page 4163 - ... question of utilizing solar radiation for central power generation thus becomes primarily a question of establishing its economy in comparison with conventional power systems considering future trends in fuel cost, energy conversion and the cost of environmental protection. A variety of approaches have been suggested for the use of solar radiation in central power generation. Each approach involves clearly identifiable steps in a chain leading from solar radiation to power delivered to the consumer...
