WASHINGTON — A research group, Resources for the Future,
i)ays mineral fuels other than oil and renewable sources like the sun
lould meet all U. S. energy needs by the year 2000 as conventional oil
iiuni saw , ,—
the stiffpr natural gas resources run out.

roups says mineral fuels are the answer
The group said coal could be developed as a source of liquid and
Jaseous fuels in addition to its current use in generating electricity and
s a solid fuel.
And the uranium mining industry, “still in its infancy,” may be a:
najor source of fuel — possibly in other ways than the controversial
uclear power technology, it said.
The United States must develop a comprehensive strategy if it is to
cceed in fighting the looming energy shortage, the group said,
applieds stum bling blocks are political and institutional, not eco-
i)ii d bf* l0rnic ° r tec hnological, it said.
p ' The non-profit organization said in a 65-page report issued Sunday
he United States is capable of developing a “high degree of energy
[elf-sufficiency” by the end of the century by tapping little-used
atural resources.
ii j eam “The United States is not currently producing enough fuels from
1 ’ ^ lomestic resources to meet its own consumption, and we are slipping
into progressively larger deficits. Yet the potential exists to do far
better, and even to achieve a high degree of energy self-sufficiency if
the nation should choose to do so,” it said.
The report listed shale as one of the available alternate mineral
resources, and said resolving controversies on the role of nuclear
power would make it available on a broader scale once its comparative
advantages and disadvantages are understood.
Future technologies could develop methods for extracting energy
from uranium without using the present nuclear technology, which has
come under attack particularly since the Three Mile Island accident,
the report said.
“We do not really know the true ultimate dimensiomfour resources.
Future discoveries, and the economic extraction of resources we now
recognize, will be influenced by new geological knowledge, as well as
by price and technological developments,” the report said.
But it cautioned the development of new energy sources also must
consider the impact on the environment and human health.
“If all energy sources were readily interchangeable and there were
no concerns about public or environmental health, there would clearly
be no nearterm danger of running out of domestic resources to satisfy
future U.S. consumption,” the report said.

FEC auditors originally recom
mended that the Carter campaign
committee repay $82,000, but the
FEC split 3-3 along political lines
and $30,000 in the finding. Because
of the tie vote, the money does not
have to be repaid.
The commission’s three Demo
crats, Tom Harris, John McGarry
and Robert Tieman voted with Car
ter, while the three Republicans —
Joan Aikens, Max Friedersdorf and
Vernon Thomson said the $30,000
should be recollected.
The $50,000 came from two prin
cipal sources.

The commission found that

received an interest from telephone

turned to the government — a rela
tively routine procedure.
The FEC also ordered repayment
of $23,000 for which the Carter
committee could not provide suffi
cient receipts to explain the expendi
tures. This amount originally totaled
$48,000 before the commission split
3-3 on what should be repaid.
