...need other forms of energy to heat homes, make electricity and run cars. Now, as a result of crisis and quintupled oil prices, federal funding for energy research and development is surging. The money is going toward getting energy from the sun, from hot rocks and steam reservoirs deep beneath the earth's surface, from the wind, from coal, even from the millions of tons of garbage discarded daily...
...several other research fronts. Oil from shale in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah could supply U.S. needs well into the next century.

Next the barge opened its sea cocks until it had taken on enough water to sink to a depth of 150 ft. It was maneuvered directly beneath the Glomar Explorer's moon pool and held in place by stanchions from the mother ship. Pipe from the ship reached down to the barge and attached itself to the giant grappling claws, which resembled a series of four or six interconnected ice tongs hanging from a long platform...
