characteristics of solar technologies for this market sector over the next twenty years. The workbook also presents projections of the mix of solar technologies by U.S. Census Region (see Figure 1). In some cases, data have been aggregated to the national level. Emphasis of the workbook is on a mid-price fuel scenario, Option II, that meets about a 20 percent solar goal by the year 2000. The energy demand for the mid-price scenario is projected at 115 quads in the year 2000. The workbook, prepared in April 1979, represents government policies and programs anticipated at that time. The data reflecting changes in government policy, energy costs, energy demands, and solar commercialization status may be periodically updated. Show Less
