The energy program of the government of the FRG - conceptions and reality

The author points out the overall conception concerning energy policy by giving a short survey of the energy program of the FRG running since 1973. In particular, the objectives set up in the first projection of the energy program are compared with the values attained in reality concerning mineral oils, natural gas, pit coal, brown coal, and nuclear energy. From this comparison, conclusions are drawn on the possibility to attain the objectives set up for 1980 and 1985. These objectives can hardly be realized without making compromises. Essentially, a gap in the supply of nuclear power stations is only to be closed by using nuclear energy and hard coal. (UA)
