Leich, Harold H. – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1975
Our present sewage disposal systems are ecologically unsound because they risk transmitting diseases, waste water, cost too much, increase lake eutrophication, and build up sludge. Sewerless toilets are being developed which can solve these problems. (MR)

Parsegian, V. L. – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1971
There should be a "shifting of emphasis from fossil fuel to nuclear systems as quickly as possible," but with a major change in the design of reactor systems to enable more efficient use of the total energy produced. Waste heat may be used for agriculture. (AL)

Spinrad, Bernard I. – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1971
The American energy crisis is real in that our supplies of fuel which can meet standards imposed on utility emissions are short, and their price is high. It is artificial in that many of the standards could be partially relaxed, and cheaper fuel used by utilities without significant public insult. ...Nuclear power from fission is our best bet."…
