PUBLIC ATTITUDES TOWARD PROGRAMS OF LARGE-

AND POLICY PRESCRIPTIONS, APPENDIX E
Arthur B. Shostak In Drexel Univ. Res. and Educ. in Management
of Large-Scale Tech. Programs 2 Jun. 1973 p 128-139 refs
CSCL 05A

The question of how ready the public is for the implementation of large-scale programs of technological change is considered. Four vital aspects of the issue are discussed which include: (1) the ways in which the public mis-perceives the change process, (2) the ways in which recent history impacts on public attitudes, (3) the ways in which the public divides among itself, and (4) the fundamentals of public attitudes towards change. It is concluded that nothing is so critical in the 1970's to securing public approval for large-scale planned change projects as is securing the approval by change-agents of the public. D.L.G.

Avail: SOD HC $1.65

A Congressional committee report on the authority of Federal agencies with respect to fuels and energy emergency management is presented. It is stated that more than forty Federal departments, agencies, and regulatory commissions affect energy matters. The reorganization and restructuring of these Federal energy activities is a principal concern of the Committee involved in the energy study. A staff analysis is developed to show the statutory authority of Federal agencies and the implementation of that authority in the energy field. The staff analysis is based on a questionnaire which requested the following information: (1) goals and objectives of the energy and (2) a summary of their respective roles within the overall body of Federal fuels and energy policy formulation and implementation. The term Energy Policy is define as all basic legal authority which authorized programs or policies designed to assist, to promote, to regulate, or to impose constraints on the range of alternatives which local, State, Federal, or private descision makers may consider in their effort to meet existing and future energy demands.

A summary of the energy conservation and development recommendations was presented to the U.S. Congress pursuant to Senate Resolution 45. The summary was based on the final report of the National Commission on Materials Policy. The seven functions which are to be served by the national materials policy are defined. The major theme of the report is the need to strike a balance between producing goods and protecting the environment. A second theme is the need for a balance between the supply of materials and the demand for their use by increasing primary materials production. Specific recommendations are submitted for the following: (1) disposition of wastes, (2) development of energy sources, (3) land use. (4) water use, and (5) international aspects of the materials policy. The requirements for science and technology. research and development, and inventories of materials are included. P.N.F.

The conclusions drawn in the thesis indicate that the impact of metric conversion on aircraft maintenance hardware will allow continued use of current shop machinery and servicing equipment with minor modification required in but few cases. The intermix of tools and stock of both dimensions can be accomplished with little difficulty by the user and will require additional storage space throughout the conversion period and for many years thereafter Technical information will be affected but can assimilate GRA metric in an orderly fashion.

FUTURE UNITED STATES POPULATION, ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND ENERGY DEMANDS

Richard J. Gonzalez In Denver Univ. Balancing Supply and Demand for Energy in the US 1972 p 1-8

The impact of United States population and economic growth on energy demands is discussed. The need for reasonably rational analyses based on correct information and on realistic assumptions with respect to the future energy requirements is stressed. The subjects considered are: (1) the outlook for US population, (2) the potential for US economic growth, (3) probable U S. energy requirements, and (4) perspective on long term energy problems. The author concludes that the future welfare of mankind requires that energy problems receive the best possible rational study as the basis for intelligent decisions about all policies and actions that affect energy availability, cost, and use.

The problem of obtaining a balance between demand and supply of nuclear fuel for electric power generation in the United States to 1985 is discussed. It is stated that the balance will depend on economic rather than geologic considerations. Proven reserves of uranium and the quality of the resource base that offers potential for new discoveries assure that uranium ore deposits available for development and production will be sufficient to meet demand. Projections are made in the growth of the nuclear powered electric energy field. The operation of the nuclear reactors and the nuclear fuel cycle involved in electric power production are described. Charts are included to show the projected utilization of nuclear fuels and the mix of coal, hydro, gas, thermal, and nuclear fuels to the year 2000. Author
