Peer reviewedAbelson, Philip H. – Science, 1975
Summarizes factors that will create severe energy shortages by 1980. Indicates that conservation is not enough, and the quickest path toward relief is the expansion of surface mining of low-sulfur coal in the Rocky Mountain states. (GS)

Zinberg, Dorothy S. – 1981
This paper examines the energy problem. Specific topics discussed include the recent history of oil and gas consumption in the United States, conservation, coal, solar energy, and nuclear energy. While solutions to the energy problem differ, there is an urgent need for broad, public debate. Ultimately, the decisions made regarding energy will be…

Peer reviewedOuseph, P. J.; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1982
Simpler than x-ray diffractometer experiments, the experiment described illustrates certain concepts regarding the interaction of electromagnetic rays with matter such as the exponential decrease in the intensity with absorber thickness, variation of the coefficient of absorption with energy, and the effect of the K-absorption edge on the…

Peer reviewedWeinberg, Alvin M. – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1980
A senior nuclear physicist examines the status of nuclear power in the 1980s, projects the future beyond 2030, and argues that the world cannot do without nuclear fission. (BT)
Descriptors: Electricity, Energy, Fuels, Futures (of Society)
Direct linkCampbell, Peter – Physics Education, 2003
Energy policies are under review everywhere, as the world tries to meet targets for reducing climate change despite continuing population growth. A major change in energy patterns is needed, with the critical period for transition predictably happening when young people currently at school are in their middle years of their lives. This article…

Canipe, Stephen L. – 1983
The purpose of this activity is to make students aware that there is no free energy source for the present or the future and that all technologies are potential threats to the environment. The activity consists of a short reading (discussing basic trade-offs, issues, and decisions related to petroleum, coal, and nuclear energy sources) and student…

Jenkins-Smith, Hank C.; Mitchell, Neil J.; Herron, Kerry G. – Journal of Conflict Resolution, 2004
Scholars have made little progress in exploring the degree to which research on belief structures among Americans may be generalizable to other political systems and geopolitical contexts. The distribution and structure of mass beliefs related to nuclear security, missile defenses, and nuclear energy issues in the United States and Great Britain…
