...funds they will dispense for campaigns this year: a staggering $240 million. There is Back Pac, PeacePac and Cigar-Pac. Beer distributors have a committee named-what else?-SixPAC. Whataburger Inc. has one called Whata-Pac. The Concerned Rumanians for a Stronger America has a PAC, as does the Hawaiian Golfers for Good Government. And so do most major corporations and unions...

...Ocean thermal energy conversion, or OTEC, is decades away from full development, but one OTEC scientist feels that it may one day deliver as much energy from Hawaiian waters alone as the entire U.S. now consumes. OTEC utilizes warm surface waters to heat pressurized ammonia, which vaporizes, expands and propels a power turbine. Then the gaseous ammonia is cooled by subsurface waters, converted back to a liquid and repeats the process all over again. In 1979 a floating mini-OTEC plant generated a net 15 kilowatts per hour, making it the first such plant to produce more energy than...
