Sen. James G. Abourezk (D-S.D.) asked the Government Ac-counting Office to investigate the "evidence of solar energy feasibility" contained in a report by Atomic Energy Commission scientists. He said evidence that solar energy could be developed more quickly and cheaply than previously believed had been ignored when the AEC recommended, in a report to the President, that only $200 million out of a total of $10 billion for energy research should be spent on solar energy for a five-year period beginning in 1975. Sen. Abourezk wanted to know "why the A.E.C. has been sitting on scientific data pointing the way toward solar energy while major oil companies are quietly moving to take control of the means to produce solar power."
