conceptual power plant analyses, and lately a full- 

 scale Nockup of a Portion of a SOLAR VOLTAIC GENERATION 

 (SVG) power plant. That Solar Voltaic Generation 

 potential, again advanced herein, shows near-term 

 engineering and economic viability of strategic amounts 

 of solar photovoltaic generation. Instead, the Coun- 

 cil committed to an energy conservation mission to 

 reduce or withdraw electric consumption and fuel- 

 switching to offset imminent Regional energy deficits. 

 Moreover, the 1500 average Megawatts of COMSERyATJOM 

 called for in the 1991 POWER PLANT is followed in the 

 first decade of the next century with a similar amount 



of 'conservation brownout' and then indication of a 



return to nuclear power, perhaps HNP 1, 2 i 3 being 

 mothballed at a considerable fraction of the BPA annual 

 budget . 



The following Tables shows the 1991 POWER PLAN 'Re- 

 sources' response to the BPA projected Firm Energy 

 Deficits; being to conserve, stop using the electricity 

 in amounts comparable to the projected deficit and 

 indications of back-to-nuclear after two decades of 

 operation of the Northwest Power Planning Council's 

 'Conservation Power Plant".
