...indeed, does the two-disc album, a live recording of unspecified stops made on Bowie's 1977 summer tour. Each side has a distinct sound, roughly charting some of the solar systems Bowie has visited in his galactic travel...
Citing a joint U.S.-Saudi solar energy project now underway, Taher also emphasized the need for industrialized nations to develop alternative energy technologies that would allow for the conservation of hydrocarbons "for a very valuable few years longer...
...Solar energy may ultimately do much to heat and cool homes and factories, but its large-scale use for electricity is a long way off. Even a highly-some would say unrealistically-optimistic federal study forecasts that solar, wind and wave power and the conversion of sun-grown organic matter into methane would at best meet 20% of all U.S. energy needs...
Unfortunately, this will leave the U.S. practically where it was before in terms of energy policy. We will still be importing 8.5 million barrels of oil per day, still driving our gas-guzzlers down the expressways at 70 miles per hour, still stalling in the developement of solar, geothermal, wind and other renewable forms of energy. Even if the other four parts of Carter's energy package--utility rate reform, conversion to more use of coal by industry, conservation measures, and crude oil taxes--are enacted, many serious measures will still be needed to create an effective national energy policy...
...still forge a strong, coherent national energy policy which will encourage conservation, develop potentially economical energy technologies like solar and wind, and avoid excessive dependence on foreign imports or nuclear energy. But first political obstacles must be overcome: there will have to be less pork-barreling of useless energy projects in key states, less reliance on higher energy prices which pose equity and distribution problems, less resistance to use of alternative power sources. "We have some solutions within our grasp," a Senate staffer confided last week, "but they still need to be translated into political reality...
