Examines possible energy options and outlines assessments and conclusions influencing recent top level energy thinking and planning. Indicates that no nation on earth appears to have either a coherent long-range energy strategy or the institutions needed to devise one. (JR)

Explains using exponential mathematics, the effect of growth on rate of consuming energy resources. Concludes that we are running out of energy resources at a greater rate than many people think. Lists few options left such as conservation by stopping growth of consumption, recycling, and research to develop alternate sources. (GA)

Reviews challenges facing the future use of coal and synthetic fuels as major energy sources. (SL)

Criticizes the energy policies of the Nixon Administration, claiming that they tend to perpetuate the wasteful trends of the past and accelerate degradation of the environment. (JR)

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

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)

Briefly discusses the limits of present energy sources and outlines possible alternatives that might be developed to provide energy for increasingly demanding industrialized societies. (JR)

Tips are given here for energy conservation in the home. Included are heating and cooling houses, water heating, bathing, clothes washing and drying, cooking, refrigerating, dishwashing, lighting, and driving. Also included is a table of annual energy requirements of household electric appliances. (BB)

Presents energy as a pivotal prerequisite of highly developed economic and social structure. Discusses: (1) fossil-fuel resources and demand in various countries; (2) energy conservation; (3) measures for conservation; (4) technology transfer; and (5) considerations to be regarded internationally. (HM)

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)

Looks at the process of photosynthesis in a new light, to show that distinct possibilities exist for using photosynthesis to harvest fuel, food, fibre, and chemicals. (GA)

Sample problems concerning energy consumption and conservation with air conditioners, electric ranges, refrigerators and televisions are provided. The energy efficiency ratio (EER) is also discussed. (CP)

This document is the outcome of a study designed to investigate the energy-related attitudes of several different groups of science students and science teachers both before and after working with an energy-environment simulator for approximately an hour. During the interaction with the simulator, the participants decided upon the variables they…

Included in this module are five activities dealing with sources and consequences of power production. The activities include: (1) review of the nature of energy; (2) options for power production; (3) energy resources and their sources; (4) energy and the future; and (5) a simulated energy conference in 1984. Also included are an overview, teacher…
