Decision on energy
institute coming
ATLANTA (AP) — An answer
to Georgia’s request to be the
home of the proposed national
Solar Energy Research
Institute, may come as early as
this week, according to federal
officials.
Robert Fri, the acting admin
istrator of the Energy Research
and Development Adminis
tration, has indicated his deci
sion on where to locate the hub
of solar research in the nation,
will come between this week
and late April.
A committee had studied 19
possible sites and reported its
findings to Fri after Georgia
and a number of states began
competing for the solar facility.
Fri “had not seen the com
mittee’s presentation so he
didn’t know how difficult it
would be to make the final de
cision,” an ERDA spokesman
said last week.
Meanwhile, Dr. Thomas Stet
son of Georgia Tech said: “I
think we have a strong proposal
and are in the final series of
candidates, but I also know
there are a lot of political un-

certainties toward the end of the
decision-making process.”
Stetson was in charge of the
group which developed Geor
gia’s proposal.
Although the White House is
to have no direct Influence on
the decision, some Georgia offi
cials have expressed fear that a
desire by the Carter Adminis
tration to show no favoritism to
the President’s home state may
trim Georgia’s chances.
Fri, a Republican appointee,
took over ERDA leadership
after the resignation of Robert
Seamons.
