And three of heating, air conditioning and water for 70 per cent of the anticipated growth rate in the average household during the next three decades. But, Doctor said, more than two thirds of the house heating, house cooling and water heating requirements could be handled by solar energy if that source of heat could be utilized economically.

Steps the state could take to cut down the rate growth. Doctor and Anderson said, included encouraging voluntary reduction through consumer education; taxation and pricing policies to discourage excessive use of electricity; financial incentives to develop a solar heating industry, and policies that would bar some practices, such as the construction of uninsulated buildings.

Irge Steam Use we could develop a process for tapping that energy and start using it in 1985 at the rate of 2,000 megawatts per year, and if we could slow the growth rate to 3 per cent a year, then we would not need any new nuclear or fossil fuel plants between now and the year Doctor said. The Doctor-Anderson report stressed the importance of switching from electricity to gas for many uses in homes, stores, plants and other structures. is more efficient than gas at the point of end they acknowledged. the process of generating electricity by burning gas under a boiler at a a m-electric generating plant is so inefficient that the overall process of generation, transmission and end use in almost every case requires more energy than if gas were burned directly in the household to achieve the same end And air pollution is substantially reduced, they said, if gas js burned at the point of end use rather than used to generate electricity.

A-Piant Slowdown The Doctor-Anderson team suggested the state consider a policy on new nuclear power plants, which now are planned to form the backbone of future electricity supply system. Besides the risk of nuclear accident, they said, there the still unsolved problem of disposing of high level radioactive wastes which remain dangerous for thousands ct years, There is also the physical problem of locating as many as 130 new pow'er plants, they said, particularly if the plants were located along the coast line. A preliminary screening of the state's coast indicated there are only 17 parcels of land wih a total length of 55 miles that meet even the most general criteria for sites of nuclear power plants.

California could set up the siting function in an existing agency, they said, or in a large new agency which would have control over land use policy, environmental protection and energy policy. The siting agency should be responsible for an interactive planning process among the state government, the utilities and the Chopper Hit While Landing, Gl Killed SAIGON American was killed and five wounded today when Communist fire ripped through a U.S. helicopter after it landed under attack at a South Vietnamese base in the Central Highlands, field reports said.
