...were born in January or early February, you should count your astrological year as the year before you were born because the lunar calendar does not coincide exactly with the Western solar calendar. For example, if you were born in January, 1956, your sign is the ram, not the monkey...
...more than ever before for energy. There will be many temptations to seek less painful solutions. Harvard Professor Otto Eckstein lists "three cop-outs" that all too many people take on energy policy. The first is to put faith in blue-sky technologies, such as development of solar and geothermal power, to increase energy supplies, which they can do only marginally. Says Eckstein: "When somebody talks about solar as the answer to energy, you know he is dodging the issue." The second cop-out is reliance on "cosmetic symbols," such as investment credits for home insulation, which helps...
...amount of energy now being wasted is greater than the total amount that is imported (in 1977 the U.S. is expected to import $41 billion more in petroleum products than it exports). Carter also called for more development of coal in "an environmentally sound way" and further research on solar energy. On atomic energy, he was cautious. He asked for "strict safeguards on necessary atomic energy production." Later in February, he pledged, he will ask Congress for help in combining the some 50 federal agencies involved in energy. "Utility companies," he concluded, "must promote conservation and not consumption...
...their tracks, people ply the icy city streets in snowmobiles. Railroad engineers thaw out frozen whistles with flares and blowtorches. A Burger King in Camden County, N.J., is the envy of the competition. It serves customers twelve hours every day at 70° because it is heated by solar power. In Pittsburgh, a discotheque called Reflections has a sign on the door: THIS ESTABLISHMENT is WARMED BY BODY HEAT...

Among the panelists will be Robert Willis, President of the Exxon subsidiary, Solar Power Corp., Peter Glazer, a vice-president of Arthur D. Little, who favors a solar energy satellite power station, and Professor Bruce Chalmers, who favors photovoltaic cells to produce energy from...
