Water is competed for by fishing interests, farmers and the builders of power plants. The water that cools the nuclear reactors comes from nearby rivers and is later returned to them warm. Environmentalists claim that the warm water can disrupt the ecology of a stream. They are stubbornly fighting a plan to build two large nuclear plants on the shores of the Skagit River, campaigning to have a 59-mile stretch of it protected from any kind of development under the federal Wild...

Although some heat is thereby lost, in many stoves the doors can be temporarily folded back, leaving a clear view of the dancing flames-as in a fireplace. A compromise between the Franklin and the open hearth is a heat-efficient device called the Thermograte, a tubular convection unit...
