Solar, geothermal, and synthetic fuels will make only a small <br />contribution to domestic energy supplies by 1985 (about 1 per- <br />cent). <br /> <br />. The major contribution from solar, geothermal, and synthetic <br />fuels will not be felt until after 1990. <br /> <br />. The technology for these sources eXists, but must be proven <br />economically viable on a commercial scale. It will take several <br />years to build the first full.siz8 plants: hence a large industry will <br />not be possible during the next 10 years. <br /> <br />. It is likely that few, if any. synthetic fuel plants will be built <br />by 1985 without Federallinancial assistance. <br /> <br />. Unless commercial size plants are started now and proven <br />economiC by 1 98S. it will not be possible lor these new sources <br />to replace dwindling supplies of oil and gas in the POSI.lg8S <br />period. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />
