Chalmers, Ehrenreich, William A. Shurcliff, honorary research associate in the physics department, and Henry Kendall, MIT professor of physics and a founder of the Cambridge-based Union of Concerned Scientists all agreed yesterday that non-electric solar technologies such as direct heating and cooling would make more significant contributions to energy production than solar cells before the year...
...authors really are part of a movement which is no fiction. William Shurcliff, a research associate in physics here, used to know about every solar-heated house in America, but in the past year so many have been built that he has given up keeping track of them all. And Cole thinks that those who are not aesthetically attracted to the idea of building a house that uses its natural surroundings carefully will eventually become attracted to features like solar heating when the price of oil finally makes it worth their while to consider an alternative...
Bang-Zone. Like Proxmire, ecologists are concerned about the potential threat of the SST to the environment. Many of their misgivings are documented in the S/S/T and Sonic Boom Handbook, a hot-selling (150,000 copies to date) paperback edited by William Shurcliff, director of a pressure group called the Citizens League Against the Sonic Boom. The Handbook contends that a single SST, flying from New York to California, would leave a "bang-zone" 50 miles wide by 2,000 miles long. But some tests indicate that this bang at SST's operational height of 60,000 ft. will...
