...expect the amount we raise to be in excess of $500, after other organizations contribute," Green added. The Student Assembly collected $36 at its meeting Sunday night...
...deliveries. They are discovering with a dismaying jolt that the great '79 fuel crunch has moved from the gas station to the furnace room. Since January the average price of heating oil has jumped from less than 56? per gal. to more than 80?, an increase well in excess of 40%. The country's total heating-oil bill, about $10 billion last year, will rise by $4.3 billion...
...dethrone the dollar as the world's chief reserve currency, and replace it with a collection of monies that will give more economic and geopolitical power to hard-currency nations, including West Germany and Japan. In an attempt to remove from the money markets some of the excess dollars that provide cannon fodder for speculators, the IMF would replace as much as $40 billion with its own bonds. Now there are some $225 billion in dollars in foreign central bank vaults and $500 billion more in private hands outside the U.S. For a generation the dollar's dominant...
...stop Seabrook, nuclear power will be firmly established in New England. When Seabrook was proposed a decade ago, planners projected a continuing increase in New England electricity demand, a growth that has since levelled off, making Seabrook unnecessary. Use of already existing excess electric generating capacity, and the reactivation of currently out-of-service hydroelectric plants throughout New England would supply more energy cheaper than the Seabrook nukes ever could. But if Seabrook is built, it will pick up whatever excess energy needs New England may develop over the next few years, and the utilities will be able to argue...
...minor accidents, regulatory procedures and routine maintenance and refueling. There were no electricity shortages, no brown-outs. With nukes providing less than four percent of U.S. electricity (itself only a fraction of total energy needs), with 30 to 50 per cent of our energy being wasted, with a huge excess electrical generating capacity on the part of the utilities, even a modest program of energy efficiency would totally eliminate the need for the uneconomic, inefficient, and highly dangerous practice of generating electricity with nuclear power...
