Reviews techniques for energy conservation in the home. (SL)

Discusses the relative instability of organic oxidants, citing early attempts at overcoming the solubility limitations in organic reaction systems. Describes the more recent introduction of new types of organic oxidant salts that have demonstrated more promising levels of stability, though unexpected explosions have still occurred. (TW)

In 1986, Northeast Utilities began helping shool administrators combat school building energy wastage through a program called Energy Alliance. The typical school can reduce its energy bill by 30 percent by adopting a wide range of conservation measures, including cogeneration, relamping, and energy audits. (MLH)

Outlines the uses of personal computers as energy management tools in school systems. They can account for energy use and costs, monitor monthly consumption, project impacts of projects, and study new design and building use programs. Includes three tables. (MD)

Describes an experiment that involves the extraction of lead from gasoline into an aqueous solvent using iodine monochloride reagent. This method (which avoids the aspiration of organic solvents) also illustrates the use of wavelengths other than the most sensitive wavelength and effects of flame stoichiometry and burner height upon absorbance.…

Proposes the development of community centers in which school children, parents, and homeowners can be educated in areas of energy conservation and alternative fuel sources. Provides brief passages on some of the most promising alternative fuels. (CP)

The audit establishes how much and what kind of energy is consumed by each energy user in a building. This identifies the most cost-effective changes to maximize the performance of the existing mechanical and electrical systems and the building skin. Available from Consulting Engineer, 1301 S. Grove Avenue, Barrington, Illinois 60010, $15.00 per…

Analyzes changes in household formation and housing choices, fuel rates, per capita income, technological developments, and equipment efficiences to show that residential energy use growth could reach zero by the year 2000. (MLH)

Presents questions and answers about various chemical topics such as the supply of fossil fuels, mercury contamination of water, and lead and nitrous oxides emissions from gasoline. (MLH)

Describes ways to cut back on fuel consumption in schools. (DN)

Summarizes the report of a Presidentially commissioned study team on deficiencies in the Government's energy-related regulatory activities. Recommends creation of four new federal offices including a centralized energy data office, and a coordinative approach to issues of federal-state-local relationships in the sitting and licensing of energy…

The huge oil corporations for many years have been using their political power at State, national, and international levels of government to control production and prices. (Author)

Advocates an increase in the use of coal to alleviate the oil and gas shortage. Outlines present deterrents which limit the exploitation of coal, and discusses ways in which this energy source might be more effectively utilized. (JR)

Discusses the nature of energy, the ways in which it is used in our society, non-polluting sources of energy, and means by which energy can be conserved to alleviate the shortage and minimize environmental degradation. (JR)
