The renewed interest in the U.S. springs from a growing population's need for more electricity.

At The Geysers, steam-driven turbines produce 58,000 kw. of electricity at a cost 23% below that of nearby conventional generating plants; in a few years, the area could be producing almost 20 times...

Last year, in a smaller version of the Eagle, he won the Belgian Grand Prix-the first Grand Prix victory scored by a U.S. car since...
...Eastern, which as recently as 1963 was shaky enough to ask for a $33 million subsidy, got a chance to change from a domestic carrier into a major international airline, giving Pan Am its first U.S.-flag competition in such South Pacific areas as New Zealand, Tahiti and the Fiji Islands-not from U.S West Coast cities (which Pan Am serves), but from eleven mainland points plus Mexico City and Acapulco...
