Congressional findings and declaration of policy (a) The Congress hereby finds that— (1) the current imbalance between supply and demand for fuels and energy is likely to persist for some time; (2) the early demonstration of the feasibility of using solar energy for the heating and cool- ing of buildings could help to relieve the de- mand upon present fuel and energy supplies; (3) the technologies for solar heating are close to the point of commercial application in the United States; (4) the technologies for combined solar heat- ing and cooling still require research, develop- ment, testing and demonstration, but no insol- uble technical problem is now foreseen in achieving commercial use of such tech- nologies; (5) the early development and export of via- ble solar heating equipment and combined solar heating and cooling equipment, con- sistent with the established preeminence of the United States in the field of high tech- nology products, can make a valuable con- tribution to our balance of trade; (6) the widespread use of solar energy in place of conventional methods for the heating and cooling of buildings would have a signifi- cantly beneficial effect upon the environment; (7) the mass production and use of solar heating and cooling equipment will help to eliminate the dependence of the United States upon foreign energy sources and promote the national defense; (8) the widespread introduction of low-cost solar energy will be beneficial to consumers in a period of rapidly rising fuel cost; (9) innovation and creativity in the develop- ment of solar heating and combined solar heating and cooling components and systems can be fostered through encouraging direct contact between the manufacturers of such systems and the architects, engineers, devel- opers, contractors, and other persons inter- ested in installing such systems in buildings; (10) evaluation of the performance and reli- ability of solar heating and combined solar
