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 windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also

being tested.

Some experts expect utility companies to revive 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:
