he 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 [arrange] of wastes.

Experiment work is being done to derive [gain] synthetic [combining] fuels from coal, oil

shale, and coal tars [nhựa]. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experimental are

underway to harness [tận dụng] power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, 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, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also

underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
