The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning
garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or
oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes. Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels
from coal, oil shale, and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are
underway to harness power with giant wind-mills. Geothermal power is also being tested. Some experts
expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago,
hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies
only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert
the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use
of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
