Valley group urges more federal solar funding at Phoenix hearing
A Valley environmental group plans to press for greater federal solar energy expenditures at a public hearing Friday. The 7 p.m. session at the Camelback Sahara Hotel will review federal and state energy programs with ERDA and Federal Energy Administration representatives present. Darlene Ventrella argues Carter’s 1978 budget underserves solar energy and cites $320 million for solar vs $1.2 billion for nuclear. She notes solar heating could reduce future gas to electricity costs and criticizes Arizona’s five per cent conservation goal by 1980 as too modest.
