Stresses the rapid expansion of electric power use in the United States and contends that the current emphasis must be on expanding the generating capacity of electricity from coal and nuclear fuels. Journal available from Energy Information Associates, Inc., P. O. Box 18076, Capitol Hill Station, Denver, Colorado 80218. (KC)

Examines some of the options available for satisfying future energy demands and discusses the consequences of developing the various energy sources. (JR)

Questionnaires sent to state education agencies, energy offices, governors' offices, and legislatures inquired about energy education and related policies. Findings and areas needing improvement are discussed. (MLF)

Examines the various energy sources likely to be developed in the near future, and suggests that the only satisfactory solution lies in the development of solar energy and an associated non-polluting "hydrogen economy." Concludes that Australia has ideal conditions and the technical expertise to lead in solar energy research. (JR)

The energy crises may ultimately provide a persuasive rationale for educational technology. (Author/STS)

ingency on oil supplies will recur later in the 1980s, confirming the need for careful energy planning. Among the factors to be taken into account are: changes in values that affect how people use energy; centralized solutions versus solutions geared to individual and regional needs; and effective use of conservation.

Discusses the world's energy requirements in contrast with the world's known and unknown energy reserves to illustrate the need for a stable and more equitable world-wide energy distribution system, especially for oil-importing countries. (CC)

Discusses some long-range aspects of energy resources and consumption, including the history of current energy crisis, resource and reserve estimates, and future of the energy industry. Indicates that the United States of American has enough fossil and nuclear fuel to last, respectively, for 500 years and a million years. (CC)

Described is how the U.S. energy situation might be different if consumers had foreseen the economic realities of energy in the 1970s. (Author/SA)

Reviews major fuel sources utilized since the mid-1800's and projects energy needs and fuel reserves up to the year 2000 for the United Kingdom. (SL)

This document describes five alternative scenarios which present various conditions that may exist in the United States from now to the year 2000, and which would be important in shaping demand for air transportation. Each scenario describes the potential evolution of various socioeconomic conditions, along with a projection of the amount and type…

The importance of applied research to the technical and political support of energy conservation programs is discussed. Past, present, and future examples of applied fuel conservation research are presented and a means of institutionalizing these research efforts into a long range program is suggested. (MDR)

Described is a study in which energy demands were analyzed and several plausable future energy scenarios were developed. The article attempts to illustrate the dynamics of energy demand and supply in the United States in order to aid future planning. (MDR)

Brazil's energy options and current outlook are examined, and a summary of known reserves of fossil and renewable energy resources is given. Suggestions for an energy program designed to preserve Brazilian culture are included. (MDR)

This unit consists of activities designed to develop value systems related to the interactions of humans and their environment. The overall objectives are to teach students to evaluate their actions within an environmental context, make rational decisions in resolving environmental problems, and function in a democratic society by reaching…
