    CHAPTER 100 - WIND ENERGY SYSTEMS

-HEAD-
    Sec. 9201. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose

-STATUTE-
      (a) The Congress finds that - 
        (1) the United States is faced with a finite and diminishing
      resource base of native fossil fuels and, as a consequence, must
      develop as quickly as possible a diversified, pluralistic
      national energy capability and posture;
        (2) the current imbalance between supply and demand for fuels
      and energy in the United States is likely to grow for many years;
        (3) it is in the Nation's interest to provide opportunities for
      the increased production of electricity from renewable energy
      sources;
        (4) the early wide-spread utilization of wind energy for the
      generation of electricity and for mechanical power could lead to
      relief on the demand for existing non-renewable fuel and energy
      supplies;
        (5) the use of large wind energy systems for certain limited
      applications is already economically feasible;
        (6) the use of small wind energy systems for certain
      applications is already economically feasible, and therefore, the
      Federal Government should not undertake any financial incentive
      or financial initiative which may detrimentally affect commercial
      markets for small wind energy systems;
        (7) an aggressive research, development and demonstration
      program to accelerate widespread utilization of wind energy
      should solve existing technical problems of converting wind
      energy into electricity and mechanical energy and, supported by
      an assured and growing market for wind energy systems during the
      next decade, should maximize the future contribution of wind
      energy to the Nation's future energy production;
        (8) it is the proper and appropriate role of the Federal
      Government to undertake research and development, to participate
      in demonstration programs for wind energy systems, and to assist
      private industry, other entities, and the general public in
      hastening the widespread utilization of such systems;
        (9) the widespread use of wind energy systems to supplement and
      replace conventional methods for the generation of electricity
      and mechanical power would have a beneficial effect upon the
      environment;
        (10) the evaluation of the performance and reliability of wind
      energy technologies can be expedited by the testing of prototypes
      under carefully controlled conditions;
        (11) innovation and creativity in the development of components
      and systems for converting wind energy into electricity and
      mechanical energy can be fostered through encouraging direct
      contact between the manufacturers of such components and systems
      and utilities and other persons interested in utilizing such
      components and systems; and
        (12) consistent with the findings of the Domestic Policy Review
      on Solar Energy, wind energy can potentially contribute 1.7 quads
      of energy per year by the year 2000.

      (b) It is declared to be the policy of the United States and the
    purpose of this chapter to establish during the next eight years an
    aggressive research, development, demonstration, and technology
    applications program for converting wind energy into electricity
    and mechanical energy. It is declared to be the further policy of
    the United States and the purpose of this chapter that the
    objectives of such program are - 
        (1) to reduce the average cost of electricity produced by
      installed wind energy systems, by the end of fiscal year 1988, to
      a level competitive with conventional energy sources;
        (2) to reach a total megawatt capacity in the United States
      from wind energy systems, by the end of fiscal year 1988, of at
      least eight hundred megawatts, of which at least one hundred
      megawatts are provided by small wind energy systems; and
        (3) to accelerate the growth of a commercially viable and
      competitive industry to make wind energy systems available to the
      general public as an option in order to reduce national
      consumption of fossil fuel.

    Sec. 9210. Analysis of applications of wind energy systems

-STATUTE-
      The Secretary shall - 
        (1) initiate and conduct a federal applications study for wind
      energy systems, cooperatively with appropriate Federal agencies
      to determine the potential for the use of wind systems at
      specific Federal facilities; and this study shall - 
          (A) include an analysis which determines those sites at which
        wind energy systems are economically competitive with the
        marginal costs of new conventional energy sources in the areas;
          (B) identify potential sites and uses of wind energy systems
        at the following agencies as well as any others which the
        Secretary deems necessary:
            (i) the Department of Defense;
            (ii) the Department of Transportation (including the United

        of wind energy systems for power generation at specific sites
        in Federal Government agencies to the Congress within twelve
        months after September 8, 1980;

      of the widespread utilization of wind energy systems on the
      existing electrical utility system;

      the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and
      the Committee on Science and Technology of the House of
      Representatives within eighteen months after September 8, 1980,
      on, the need for any additional incentives for either users or
      manufacturers, in each of the potential markets for wind energy
      systems, to accelerate the widespread utilization of wind energy
      technologies;
        (4) evaluate the actual performance of wind energy systems in
      various applications, including but not limited to residential,
      agricultural, large and small scale irrigation pumping,
      industrial, commercial, remote nonnetwork utility, and other
      applications, and report thereon to the Congress within two years
      after September 8, 1980; and
        (5) in carrying out his functions under this section, consult
      with the appropriate government agencies, industry
