"This issue of the Science Screen Report deals with the efforts of scientists and engineers to discover and develop new sources of fuel in order to solve the problems created by the energy crisis. Possible future sources include bitumen, coal gasifaction, oil shale, recycled trash and offshore drilling. We examine the new power sources, as well, such as the the magnetohydrodynamic generator, and geothermal energy. Part I of "The Search for New Energy" illustrates the various short-range approaches being studies [sic] and implented." - Summary from the teaching guide.
