Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs) are proposed as drivers for hard X-ray sources because of their ability to produce electron bunches with small, flexible cross sections and short lengths at high repetition rates. The advantages of ERL lightsources will be explained, and the status of plans for such facilities will be described. In particular, Cornell University plans to build an ERL light source, and the preparatory research for its construction will be discussed. This will include the prototype injector for high current CW ultra-low emittance beams, superconducting CW technology, the transport of low emittance beams, halo formation from intrabeam scattering, the mitigation of ion effects, the suppression of instabilities, and front to end simulations. Several of these topics could become important for other modern light source projects, such as SASE FELs, HGHG FELs, and XFELOs.
