Then it was on to James Seawright's electronic cathedral, where their movements were recorded by an electronic brain that transmitted signals to each of twelve surrounding black Formica columns, causing them to emit soft, strange organlike notes, eerie wind effects and gentle light patterns...

Another hope is nuclear power to generate electricity in place of smoggy "fossil fuels" (oil, coal), but even with 50% nuclear power, U.S. energy needs will so increase by 2000 that fossil-fuel use may quadruple. Moreover, nuclear plants emit pollution: not only radioactive wastes, which must be buried, but also extremely hot water that has to go somewhere and can become a serious threat to marine life...
