Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
The Congress hereby finds that—
**(a)** The Nation is suffering from a shortage of environmentally acceptable forms of energy.
**(b)** Compounding this energy shortage is our past and present failure to formulate a comprehensive and aggressive research and development program designed to make available to American consumers our large domestic energy reserves including fossil fuels, nuclear fuels, geothermal resources, solar energy, and other forms of energy. This failure is partially because the unconventional energy technologies have not been judged to be economically competitive with traditional energy technologies.
**(c)** The urgency of the Nation’s energy challenge will require commitments similar to those undertaken in the Manhattan and Apollo projects; it will require that the Nation undertake a research, development, and demonstration program in nonnuclear energy technologies with a total Federal investment which may reach or exceed $20,000,000,000 over the next decade.
**(d)** In undertaking such program, full advantage must be taken of the existing technical and managerial expertise in the various energy fields within Federal agencies and particularly in the private sector.
**(e)** The Nation’s future energy needs can be met if a national commitment is made now to dedicate the necessary financial resources, to enlist our scientific and technological capabilities, and to accord the proper priority to developing new nonnuclear energy options to serve national needs, conserve vital resources, and protect the environment.

lenge will require commitments similar to those

take a research, development, and demonstra-

§ 341. Cooperative extension work by colleges
In order to aid in diffusing among the people
of the United States useful and practical infor-
mation on subjects relating to agriculture, uses
of solar energy with respect to agriculture,
home economics, and rural energy, and to en-
courage the application of the same, there may
be continued or inaugurated in connection with
the college or colleges in each State, Territory,
or possession, now receiving, or which may here-
after receive, the benefits of subchapters I and II
of this chapter, agricultural extension work
which shall be carried on in cooperation with
the United States Department of Agriculture:
Provided, That in any State, Territory, or pos-
session in which two or more such colleges have
been or hereafter may be established, the appro-
priations hereinafter made to such State, Terri-
tory, or possession shall be administered by such
college or colleges as the legislature of such
State, Territory, or possession may direct. For
the purposes of this subchapter, the term ‘‘solar
energy’’ means energy derived from sources
(other than fossil fuels) and technologies in-
cluded in the Federal Non-Nuclear 1 Energy Re-
search and Development Act of 1974, as amended
[42 U.S.C. 5901 et seq.].
