...more energy"-or taxed, with revenue returning to the consumer. 2) The Republican program pushes nuclear power more than the Carter plan. It calls for research into the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, continued development of the fast breeder reactor (all but buried by Carter) and stepped-up fusion research, which Carter would trim. It comes out strongly for developing geothermal energy, which the Government's own scientists regard as only marginally promising...
...primitiveness; or Ingres's Study for Andromeda, a fascinating closeup of a lone marble woman that lets you see how Ingres sculpted his figures to achieve that smooth sensuality of form; or Monet's Fish (1870) whose glinting gold and silver scales formed of his brushstrokes, are the perfect fusion of technique and subject; or Sargent's Breakfast...
...previewed in his Monday night speech. In essence, the President hopes to arrest growing U.S. fuel demand through conservation, and to rely on plentiful coal and conventional nuclear energy to stretch out supplies of oil and natural gas until new forms of energy (solar, geothermal and thermonuclear fusion) become the nation's major power resources in the next century...
...next ten years and beyond. For the next decade, he said, the U.S. will rely mainly on strict conservation and the two "bridging fuels," coal and conventionally produced nuclear energy. "We are going to have to make do with what we have," he declared. "There will be no fusion reactor, no breeder reactor, there will be no solar-electric energy, only those fuels currently available will generally be around." Schlesinger candidly explained the Administration's decision to de-emphasize breeder research as a concession to the environmentalists. He defended it as the sort of trade-off necessary in order...
...great mineral mines and hardware shops of the nation. Break them down and re-use the parts. Coal is too difficult to dig up and transport to give us energy in the amounts we need, nuclear fission is judged to be too dangerous, the technical breakthrough toward nuclear fusion that we hoped for never took place, and solar batteries are too expensive to maintain on the earth's surface in sufficient quantity...
