...retorts Tsongas--angry that he has been cast by some as a hypocrite. He says he responds to the anti-nukers in the same way that he does to Reagan administration members who oppose development of solar power. Repeating his call for "a basket of alternatives," he says, "In both cases what you have is a response that is ideological but does not happen to square with realities that are out there...
...magnet for that migration will be 43 ft. long, weigh 20,000 lbs. and look like a cross between a dragonfly and a giant howitzer. Its incongruous wings are actually solar panels used to generate electricity for powering the machine. Circling the earth once every 100 min., at an altitude of 310 miles, the space telescope will operate automatically under radio control from earth. It can be returned to earth for major overhauls; otherwise any servicing or repairs will be done by teams of astronauts ferried up by the shuttle. Thus maintained, the telescope's working life is expected...
Edwin Jones and Ronald Shaw contributed $80 each in 1978 to start Coastal Building and Solar in suburban San Diego. Operating out of Jones' wood-frame house and working twelve-hour days, the two men quickly built up their own re modeling business. By 1979 the company employed 15 part-time workers and had around $130,000 in business...
Columbia and the space-shuttle system it introduces could contribute substantially to the domestic economy, extend U.S. capacities to find mineral resources on earth, survey the oceans, keep track of weather patterns and help bring solar energy down to earth. The most compelling of the early projects for the shuttle will be placing in orbit in 1985, if all goes well, a 22,500-lb. telescope that, free of the haze of the earth, will be able to see seven times farther than the world's most powerful instruments and perhaps solve some riddles of the universe...
Some Portlanders are experimenting with solar energy, despite the city's often rainy climate. Michael Roach, a clothing importer, has installed a sun-powered water-heating system that has cut his natural gas bill in half. The city council has another innovative proposal to encourage the use of solar power: Roach and others will be permitted to buy air rights so that no tall buildings or trees will ever be able to throw a shadow over their place...
