Beyond the rather modest sacrifices Carter asked of most individuals, his program offered some incentives for saving fuel. Both homeowners and businesses could receive tax credits for installing insulation, storm windows and weather stripping in their buildings. Homeowners also would be encouraged through tax credits to install solar equipment...
OTHER ENERGY SOURCES. Both businesses and homeowners would be given tax credits for investing in solar-energy equipment. More funds would be provided for research on coal liquefaction and oil shale as well as solar energy. While maintaining its opposition to development of plutonium as a nuclear-reactor fuel-a gesture aimed at quieting opposition to nuclear power-the Administration would speed up the processing of applications for licenses for conventional, uranium-fueled nuclear generating plants from the present three-to-six years to six months. Says Eizenstat: "We are just trying to ensure that nuclear power plants that should...
...decade, he said, the U.S. will rely mainly on strict conservation and the two "bridging fuels," coal and conventionally produced nuclear energy. "We are going to have to make do with what we have," he declared. "There will be no fusion reactor, no breeder reactor, there will be no solar-electric energy, only those fuels currently available will generally be around." Schlesinger candidly explained the Administration's decision to de-emphasize breeder research as a concession to the environmentalists. He defended it as the sort of trade-off necessary in order to organize a national consensus in support...
...nation. Break them down and re-use the parts. Coal is too difficult to dig up and transport to give us energy in the amounts we need, nuclear fission is judged to be too dangerous, the technical breakthrough toward nuclear fusion that we hoped for never took place, and solar batteries are too expensive to maintain on the earth's surface in sufficient quantity...
Carter's program--which he will outline in detail when he addresses Congress on Wednesday--calls for tax credits for installation of solar heating systems, storm windows, insulation and other energy conserving measures...
