...miracle chip represents a quantum leap in the technology of mankind, a development that over the past few years has acquired the force and significance associated with the development of hand tools or the discovery of the steam engine. Just as the Industrial Revolution took over an immense range of tasks from men's muscles and enormously expanded productivity, so the microcomputer is rapidly assuming huge burdens of drudgery from the human brain and thereby expanding the mind's capacities in ways that man has only begun to grasp. With the chip, amazing feats of memory and execution become possible...
...DEQE has approved the portions of the plant devoted to the production of steam and chilled water, but its decision on the diesel generators is crucial to the project...
Project officials have in the past stressed that the savings the plant is expected to produce depend on its "co-generation" of steam, chilled water and electricity in one facility...

This time the middle-class--the Chamber of Commerce set--has been left out in the cold...
...total package, Brown would budget $200 million for energy development, $50 million of which would be used for a proposed Southern California Edison Co. plant that turns coal into gas, and $50 million more for the private development of the geothermal industry, which uses hot-water springs to create steam. Among Brown's more unusual ideas for spending the remaining $100 million: $4 million for the installation of a dozen giant windmills to generate electricity in windy mountain passes; up to $3 million for the use of agricultural wastes-wood chips, walnut shells and maybe rice hulls-to heat...
