Solar energy urged as long term national resource
Dr Erich A Farber testified before a House energy subcommittee urging rapid solar power development. He warned coal oil and gas will deplete, arguing the only energy source large enough to sustain indefinitely is solar. The bill proposes 350 million over five years for a solar heating and cooling demonstration, funding production of about 4 000 units across private and public buildings.
