Peer reviewedAlexander, Tom – Environment, 1978
A national commitment was made a decade ago to repair the damage industrial society had wrought on the physical surroundings. That commitment left unanswered what technical methods should be employed in the repair job. This article discusses the problems faced by the environmentalist and the industrialist concerning a coal policy. (Author/MA)

Peer reviewedSmil, Vaclaw – Environment, 1977
For more than a decade, the Chinese have been using biogas digesters to produce fuel for homes in rural areas. This article discusses the design, operation, and benefits of these digesters. This means of waste treatment helps improve sanitation, produce fertilizer, and save fossil fuels. (MA)

Peer reviewedWarren, Charles; And Others – Environment, 1979
Estimates of energy demand in the future must be approached with caution; however, evidence strongly suggests that future energy demand is by no means predetermined and that low-demand futures are quite feasible both technically and economically. (Author/RE)

Peer reviewedNovick, Sheldon – Environment, 1976
There is no federal energy policy. There is a fuel use policy of sorts, but that policy is related as much to foreign policy as to domestic needs, with the United States public paying the large bill. Neither presidential candidate has yet offered a plan for a coherent energy policy. (Editor/BT)
