...more energy"-or taxed, with revenue returning to the consumer. 2) The Republican program pushes nuclear power more than the Carter plan. It calls for research into the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, continued development of the fast breeder reactor (all but buried by Carter) and stepped-up fusion research, which Carter would trim. It comes out strongly for developing geothermal energy, which the Government's own scientists regard as only marginally promising...
