A discussion by an educator, an energy consultant, an architect, and a superintendent of facilities planning on how schools can reform maintenance and operations procedures towards efficient fuel use. (Author/DN)

A computer was used to simulate weather conditions in a school district. As a result, several suggestions are made for significant savings on a school district's energy expenditures. (WM)

The higher cost of energy in the future might well dampen the current ardour for industrialization. Cheap sources are the ones most likely to disappear, pointing to a further disparity between industrialized and nonindustrialized societies. (BL)

Discusses present and future problems of producing clean energy. Graphically presents the changing patterns of fuel use in the United States over the past century, and predicts population growth and energy sources and consumption up to the year 2100 for the United States and the world. (JR)

Discusses three major questions directly concerned with energy policy and the improvement of its rationality: Where are we? How did we get here? What can we do about it? (Author/AL)

Trends in and factors related to the nuclear industry and nuclear fuel production are discussed. Topics addressed include nuclear reactors, survival of the U.S. uranium industry, production costs, budget cuts by the Department of Energy and U.S. Geological survey for resource studies, mining, and research/development activities. (JN)

In 1980, the Colorado State Board of Education adopted amendments which allowed school districts to modify their school calendars to reduce energy consumption. Fourteen school districts applied for and received permission for pilot programs reducing the school week from five to four days. (Author/CM)

Examined are the world energy problem; the problems associated with coal, fission, and other energy sources; and the feasibility of solar energy and nuclear fusion. Suggested changes for the improvement of mankind's future are provided. (BT)

Discussed are the calculations of heats of combustions of some selected fossil fuel compounds such as some foreign shale oils and United States coals. Heating values for coal- and petroleum-derived fuel oils are also presented. (HM)

A senior nuclear physicist examines the status of nuclear power in the 1980s, projects the future beyond 2030, and argues that the world cannot do without nuclear fission. (BT)

The new Sharon Elementary School in Newburgh (Indiana) has a three-fuel plan that will allow selection of the most economical energy source for each heating season with an energy-efficient lighting system that includes skylights. (Author/MLF)

Traces the history of oil and natural gas in the Middle East and relates the importance of the Middle East's current stores of oil to economic development. Information is presented on the relationship of major oil companies and local governments, OPEC, rate of production, and the impact of oil on the societies of the Middle East and North Africa.…

The need to conserve fuel will influence future bus designs. Technological advances will be required to meet anticipated government mandates for quieter, safer, more fuel efficient vehicles with lower emission levels. (Author/MLF)

Reviewed, in this editorial, are the present world energy situation and estimates of the prospects of supplying mankind with the amount of energy necessary for future socioeconomic development. Stressed is the role of different energy sources in the present and future energy balance of the world. (BT)
