Solar, Geothermal, Hydrogen, and Hydraulic Power
Abstract
Mankind faces a world-wide power dilemma. A comprehensive energy policy must be adopted here and abroad to solve this dilemma. Certain features of such a policy are considered including solar, geothermal, hydro-electric, and wind power plant applications. The possible use of weightless balloon collectors to reduce cost of solar-electric power plants is described. Present status of geothermal power plants is reviewed. The use of hydrogen as a fuel and for energy conversion, transmission, and storage is described. Possible uses of untapped or remote sources of hydro-electric power are listed. The possible use of wind power is referred to.
