Energy II: use, conservation, and supply. [27 papers]

The material in this book originally appeared in the journal Science, published from July 11, 1975 to April 14, 1978. A previous compendium was abstracted and appeared in EAPA 1:816. This compendium is organized into 3 parts. Part I, Energy Use in Transition, contains 9 papers on industrial, international, and environmental perspectives: Process Innovation and Changes in Industrial Energy Use; Industrial Energy in Transition (A Petrochemic Perspective); The Hobbling of Coal (Policy and Regulatory Uncertainties); Energy Options for Strategies for Western Europe; Energy and Resources; Brazil (Energy Options and Strategies Outlook); Solar Energy for Village Development; Energy and Water; and Predicting Future Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels. Part II, Conservation and Public Policy, contains 6 papers: US Energy Demand (Some Low Energy Futures); Efficient Energy-Use and Well-Being (The Swedish Example); Energy Conservation in New Housing Design; Transportation Energy Conservation Policies; Energy Conservation and the Consumer; and Effects of Federal Residential Energy Conservation Programs. Part III, Future Supply in Evolution, contains 11 papers and is organized into sections on fossil fuels, fission energy, solar energy, and fusion energy. Titles are: Ocean Boundaries and Petroleum Resources; Liquid Fuels from Coal (From R and D to an Industry); Nuclear Waste Disposal (Two Social Criteria);more » The CANDU Reactor System (An Appropriate Technology); Solar Heating and Cooling; Photovoltaic Power Systems (A Tour Through the Alternatives); Solar Biomass Energy (An Overview of US Potential); Fuels from Biomass (Integration with Food and Materials Systems); Solar Energy and Electric Utilities (Should They be Interfaced); The Tokamak (Model T Fusion Reactor); and Engineering Limitations of Fusion Power Plants.
