Page 312 - An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.
Page 243 - Compact Commission, and the Natural Gas Act of 1938. An analysis of the results of such incentives in which the Federal Government assumes responsibility and risk could lend considerable insight to the formulation of a strategy for solar development. In conclusion, a precedent exists for utilizing federal incentives to increase energy production. Design of national energy policy which considers the results of federal investment in incentives to increase energy production could be an efficient basis...

The Federal Government need not predicate national policy on short-term, micro-economic analysis. As confirmed by this study, federal justification is predicated on long-term goals met with the aid of new technology and supported by social values of the nation. If it is socially desirable and technology and supported by social values of the...

A If no new nuclear capacity is constructed, the increase in the number of fatalities associated with the various stages of electricity generation will increase by 8,800 to 22,300 over the 1979-2000 period. A If all nuclear capacity is decommissioned by 1985, the increase will be 16,800 to 31,900. National Economic Research Associates, Inc., Comments on the Economic...
Page 195 - GAO to identify, to the extent possible, the "full" cost of nuclear power. Such a cost mainly includes not only industry's costs, but also those borne by the Federal Government to piomote or regulate the nuclear power industry. GAO found that the average commercial cost of electricity generated by nuclear powerplants in the United States during 1978 was reported to be about 1.5 cents per kilowatthour, about the same as it was in 1977. Major Federal nuclear-related costs and subsidies for research...
