CONTENTS
PREFACE
INTRODUCTION
PART I ENERGY S ORIGINS AND SOURCES
1 COSMIC ORIGINS
In tvhich are described the guesses that scientists make about the
universe, the galaxies, the stars, and stellar explosions. Ail known
sources of energy are derived from these cosmic origins.
2 SUN, EARTH, AND LIFE
In tvhich it is shown that our sun is a remarkably constant star, It
has scarcely changed in billions of years; it is not likely to change in
many more billions. Life has developedon earth during approximately
three billion years. A time equal or even longer remains for our
descendants.
3 BIOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF FUELS 37
In which life appears on earth, an event so surprising that it may well
be called a miracle. Life s energy is derivedfront the sun. A very small
portion of this energy is stored Up as coal and petroleum, in a manner
that experts debate but no one understands.
PART II USE FROM THE RECENT PAST
TO THE NEAR FUTURE
4 CONVENTIONAL USES FROM PROMETHEUS
TO THE OIL EMBARGO 52
In which a clever biped utilizes fire and turns into man. Energy is
used to survive the ice ages in some degree of comfort; more energy is
used to establish civilized communities, Finally, prolifération of
energy in part of the globe is connected with the Industrial Revolution,
coal, pollution, electricity, oil, and the oil shortage. The stage is set
for asking many questions and receiving, perhaps, a few answers.
5 STOPPING THE WASTE 69
In which we discuss how to save what we lack. The author is
reminded of a brief verse from the last Century by Wilhelm Busch,
originator of the comic strip:
Genügsamkeit ist das Vergnügen
An Dingen Welche wir nicht Kriegen.
An updated and unfaithfully translated version might read:
It is important that we make haste
To save and enjoy what we can t waste.
What must be done is hard to describe and even harder to do.
6 PETROLEUM AND ECONOMIC PUZZLES 96
In which we learn that there is not enough oil, although new oil
deposits are found when one looks for them. We also discover that if we
try to reduce the price of oil and gas the price will increase. It is
clearly demonstrated that the author does not understand
économies—perhaps, in this particular case, with good reason. But
apart from economic worries caused by manmade laws, the outlook for
more petroleum need not be without hope.
7 MINING COAL AND OTHER FOSSIL FUELS 113
In which we find that there is plenty of the old fuel left in known
deposits, and there is probably much moreyet to be found. But much of
this energy source is hard to obtain and difficult to use without damage
to those who obtain or use it. These difficulties may bejust as great as
those associated with attempts to get energy by some radically new
approach.
PART III NUCLEAR ENERGY
8 THE BEGINNINGS OF ATOMIC ENERGY 136
In wich the reader will learn many facts that today may seem
irrelevant, but that rema in in teres fing be cause the history of atomic
power is the backgroundfor deciding uèether and how to use the great
forces of nature that have become accessible to us in the recent past,
9 THE REACTOR SAFEGUARD COMMITTEE 157
In which is described the situation of a distant, simpler past, when the
difficult Problems of reactor safety were reviewed by experts without
interference from concerned but poorly informed scientists,
environmentalists, and the daily press, and also before the urgency of
an energy shortage or the Investment of billions of dollars.
10 REACTOR SAFETY AND
THE ANTINUCLEAR MOVEMENT 168
In which opponents of nuclear research appear in the role of that
enormous rock Sysiphus tried to roll to the top ofthe mountatn in the
Underworld. At great effort, Sysiphus always succeeded; but the rock
always rolled down the hill, so he had to Start afresh. ( Fortunately,
the reader will have to read this chapter only once. )
PART IV PROSPECTS FOR THE MORE
DISTANT FUTURE
11 CONTROLLED FUSION 200
In which the reader will find out how to tarne and control the hydrogen
bomb, either by making it slow or by making it small. Unfortunately,
the work is not easy and the energy obtained may not be cheap.
12 NATURAL ENERGY SOURCES 220
In which uncertain prédictions are made about an uncertain future.
Solar energy will come, but how? The heat of the earth will be used,
but where? There are other possibilities, but which?
PART V PLANS AND POLICIES
13 ENERGY POLICIES 264
In which the reader finds himself liberated from scientific and
technical détails only to be enmeshed in general problems that are no
less controversial or complex. Besides demands for a clean environment
and the need to invigorate research, we face the impossible task of
deciding what we do next. We may assume that ifwe disregard the
energy problem it will go away; or we may decide that we have less
and consequently we should use less; or we may try to create what we
lack; or we may finally regard the problem as a worldwide crisis. In a
desperate attempt at impartiality the author fabricates economic
arguments that the cost will be approximately the same whichever
course we choose.
14 A MODEL FOR THE FUTURE 288
In which the reader will find that adolescence, the present stage of
energy s development, is a time when advice and prédictions are amply
available, though not always requested or helpful. An attempt is made
to see how promptly troubles can be resolved, and what might happen
in the remainder of the Century in the United States and in the rest of
the worid.
