THE TENNESSEAN Mornings and Sunday On Fridays Keep up with What's Happening in WEEK END WRAPAROUND TIE' TENNESSEAN May Close Plant Move Union Rejects Latest Schrader Offer By LISA HUMAN DICKSON, Tenn. Union workers at the Schrader Automotive Production Co. plant here rejected yesterday the company's latest contract offer in a step which could precipitate the plant's shut-down.

Members of the United Auto Workers Local 561 on strike since March 27 voted 440 to 82 to reject what Schrader officials said was their final contract offer. Union members said they will stay on strike until further communications with Schrader. "THE STRIKE will continue as it is now," Union spokeswoman Marie Alexander said. The union had informed Schrader of the results of the vote but had not yet received a company response, she added. Schrader officials could not be reached.

But officials said earlier they would close the Dickson plant if the union refused the contract. J. Kevin Nameth, Schrader vice president, said last week the pany is likely to release a statement tomorrow. WITH OVER 500 workers, Schrader is one of Dickson County's largest employers. It has operated a plant here since 1964 and the union has had a contract with them since 1966.

"I hate that the vote turned out that way but that is their choice," said William Field, a Dickson County executive.

Among those who are sticking it out and winning is Nina Bonnie of Stonelea Farm, Prospect, a longtime supporter and winner at Nashville area hunter-jumper shows. On King's Ransom she won the green hunter championship, and on the veteran Merlin she placed as reserve champion in the amateur owner division.

Renewable Energy Use May Double by 2000 WASHINGTON (AP) The world's use of renewable energy will double by the year 2000 when the sun, wind and water will be supplying power equal to the amount of energy obtained from oil, a study predicted yesterday.

Despite sharp cutbacks in solar programs by the Reagan administration, the Worldwatch Institute forecast a bright future for all forms of renewable energy. IN 1980, of the world's energy was obtained from renewable sources, primarily wood and hydropower. This percentage should grow to by the year 2000 as renewable energy use doubles and oil supplies decline, the non-profit research institute said. During this period, oil use will decline from its current share of total world energy to the institute said. The institute forecast even more dramatic increases for renewable energy sources in the next century, predicting that they could be supplying as much energy as the world uses today before running into resource constraints.

THE PREDICTIONS were contained in a new book, Renewable Energy: The Power to Choose, written by Worldwatch researchers Daniel Deudney and Christopher Flavin. Everywhere they leoked, the researchers found signs'of a boom in renewable resources. Among examples cited: California is leading a global breakthrough in harnessing wind power. In the last year, 1,000 wind machines have been hooked into the state's electric power grid with another 1,700 machines planned for 1983. Eleven percent of the homes in Japan and in Israel have solar water heaters.

The Israeli total should hit by the mid1980s and by the end of the decade the Japanese total will double. Wood, the leading renewable fuel, is already used for cooking by 1.5 billion people in developing countries and energy from wood will increase another by the year 2000. In the United States alone, use of wood for home heating has jumped in the last decade. Hydropower, the second leading renewable power source, supplies one-fourth of the world's electricity. This amount should double in the next 17 years as thousands of small hydropower dams are built in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

90,000 such dams have already been built in China. "There are no Saudi Arabias of renewable energy," Deudney and Flavin wrote. "Almost every place on earth has an abundance of either strong wind, intense sunlight, rich plant growth, heavy rainfall or geother gal heat.".
