Rep.Moffett has already expressed an interest in oversight of the ToxicSubstances and Clean Air Acts,among others.  \nIn other action of interest to environmentalists,the House Science and TechnologyCommittee selected solar energy advocate Richard Ottinger(N.Y.)to chair its new Energyand Development and Applications subcommittee.  This panel will have jurisdiction oversolar technologles and applications as wel1 as other renewable energy technologies andenergy conservation.The new chairman of the Science subcommittee on Energy Research andProduction,whose jurisdiction includes nuclear energy issues,is Rep.Mike McCormack(Wash.),an advocate of nuclear power.The Natural Resources and Environment subcommitteewill be chaired by Rep.Jerome Ambro(N.Y.)。  \nENERGY  \nIn a study released at the end of January,the American Physical Society(APS)StudyGroup on Photovoltaic(PV)Solar Energy Conversion recommended a federal policy thatwould stress research and development of photovoltaic technologies,rather than a marketstimulation or procurement strategy.  \nThe Study Group,in a report commissioned by the Office of Science and TechnologyPolicy(OSTP)and the Department of Energy(DOE),explores only centralfzed applicationsof photovoltaics.\"Central power production is the most extensively studied and clearlyperceived long-term,large scale application of PV for this country,\"the report states.  \nIn order for PV to compete with coal generation of electricity,marked costreductions are needed,according to the APS study.The group anticipates that PV wi11not contribute more than 1%of U.S.electrical energy near the end of this century.In30 to 50 years,PV will provide more than 10%of the nation's electrical needs,thereport projects.  \nAPS made the following general recommen datins for research and development:thesearch for and development of new photosensitive materials,basic research on interfacialphenomena that control photovoltaic conversion,investigation of non-biological methodsfor direct production of fuels from sunlight,and development of photovoltaictechnologles or devices (e.g.bubble concentrators,encapsulants for flat plate cells,and non-cell structural materials)to aid in identifying the critical materials problems1imiting performance and cost.  \nDenis Hayes,chairman of the Solar Lobby,criticized the focus of the APS report andIts conservative projections.\"The authors assumed that photovoltaic cells would beclustered in centralized plants,rather than dispersed on rooftops and in neighborhoods.This betrays a total misunderstanding of the unique advantages of solar cells,\"statedHayes.  \nAccording to Hayes,the APS does not anticipate much use of PV in the next twodecades because they have ignored the fact that a market for decentralized applicationsof this technology already exists both in this country and abroad,even at prices of$1-$2 per peak watt.The APS only considered PV in relation to the cost of coalgeneration of electricity,and thus overlooked viable near-term options,he said.  \nENERGY  \nIn","cbCaidJg6UEi2pSK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidJg6UEi2pSK","pdf",1235939,"English","# CONGRESSIONAL REORGANIZATION\n## Energy","[{\"question\":\"Which House subcommittee chairmanship changes are highlighted, and why do they matter?\",\"answer\":\"The text notes several chairmanship upsets, including leadership of the Health and Environment subcommittee, the Oversight and Investigation subcommittee, and the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources subcommittee, implying shifting focus areas for legislative work.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the American Physical Society recommend for photovoltaic (PV) policy?\",\"answer\":\"The APS study group recommends stressing research and development of photovoltaic technologies rather than relying mainly on market stimulation or procurement strategies.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the nuclear regulation testimony frame the role of risk assessment methods?\",\"answer\":\"The NRC chairman denies that the “Lewis Report” would substantially impact licensing procedures, while stating that risk is a qualitative judgment and that NRC’s engineering experience supports safe operation.\"}]","CONGRESSIONAL REORGANIZATION - Energy | PDF",1789972106,13]
