FDA proposes warning labels on most fluorocarbon aerosols
The FDA announced a plan to require warning labels on aerosol cans containing fluorocarbons, mainly spray deodorants, antiperspirants, hair sprays, colognes, and fragrances, warning that chlorofluorocarbons may harm public health and the ozone. The CPSC also moved toward a fluorocarbon aerosol ban, citing unreasonable risk to consumers. The FDA estimates it regulates about 80 percent of fluorocarbon sprays, roughly one billion cans annually.

Clayton to house solar station
The northeast New Mexico town of Clayton was chosen for an experimental wind powered electricity generating station. The project aims to produce 125 to 200 kilowatts at about 20 mph wind, with ERDA planning a 125 foot rotor on a 100 foot tower and potential daily output of 5 to 15 percent of local demand on windy days. Construction eyed for early 1977 with larger plants planned for 1979 delivering up to 1,500 kilowatts.
