NPR series to explore
alternatives for energy
Even for petroleum-rich
Texas, energy is the num-
ber one domestic issue
today, and ways of making
the transition from depen-
dence on foreign oil to other
energy resources is con- .
tinually debated.
What are the alternatives
to oil and natural gas?
What can we expect as we
enter a new decade?
These questions and
others are explored in
detail on a new National
Public Radio series,
“Energy and the Way We
Live,” to be broadcast on
KVLU-FM (91.3) each
Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
starting today.
The seven-part documen-
tary series is narrated by
Robert MacNeil, executive
editor of public television’s
“MacNeil/Lehrer Report.”
Part One is “The Energy
Crisis: Myths and
Realities,” which provides
an overview of the energy
issue and presents a
discussion of alternative
energy sources.
Those interviewed in-
clude Daniel Yerkin of the
Harvard Business School,
Cambridge, Mass. Melvin
Kransberg, a historian of
science and technology at
Georgia Tech, Atlanta;
geophysicist Owen Phillips
of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Baltimore; and en-
vironmentalist Dr. Barry
Commoner.
Part Two, “Kicking the
Oil Habit,” examines
nuclear power and con-
servation, while later
programs debate the
merits of coal, solar
energy, alcohol as fuel,
American lifestyles and a
national energy policy.
Some experts believe we
are reaching the end of the
world’s oil supply. Others
say there’s plenty of oil in
the ground. But most agree
that the real issue is how
much oil-importing nations
will have access to these
supplies and at what price.
Every day more than
$100 million depart the
United States bound for
treasuries / in OPEC
nations. According to en-
vironmentalist Commoner,
“There is no way we can
have a stable economic
system, let alone a growing
one, if year by year its out-
put is eaten away by the
production of energy which
is essential to keep the
system going.”
Commoner favors using
renewable resources—incl-
uding the sun, the wind, the
tides, plants and grain to
produce fuel.
Solar power and
renewable resources have
considerable support, but
each also has opponents.
Critics of renewable
resources, for example,
say that diverting
agricultural resources
from food to energy
production would cause
food prices to skyrocket.
Its proponents contend that
most of the nation’s grain
does not go to feed people,
but animals. The residue,
after the alcohol is ex-
tracted, they say, is just as
wholesome, and even more
convenient as animal food.
Advocates of solar power
materials getting into the
hands of criminals and
terrorists.
Dr. Alvin Weinberg, for
25 years the head of the
Oak Ridge Nr.tional
Laboratory, is a staunch
supporter of nuclear
power. He says, “Careful
design, construction and
operation procedures can
make nuclear power ac-
ceptable safe.”
Dr. Ted Taylor of Prin-
ceton University, Prin-
ceton, N.J., however, once
one of the country’s leading
designers of atomic
weapons, favors the com-
bination of solar energy
and renewable resources
and has come up with a
unique concept to im-
plement their widespread
use.

hail it as clean, available
and the energy alternative
that should be the nation’s
top priority for research
and development. Many
people believe, however,
that the cost of harnessing
the sun’s rays as more than
a supplemental source of
power is prohibitively ex-
pensive.
Some people support
production of synthetic
fuels from coal, America’s
most abundant source of
energy. Opponents of “syn-
fuel” point to the enormous
expense of the con-
versation process and
many scientists are con-
cerned about serious en-
vironmental hazards which
may be associated with
their widespread use.
Nuclear Power is the
most controversial of the
proposed energy alter-
natives. “Anti-nuke”
demonstrations are almost
as frequent and im-
passioned today as protests
against America’s in-
volvement in Viet Nam a
decade ago. The concerns
center around en-
vironmental dangers, plant
accidents and the
possibility of nuclear

Allen Hundley, producer

says, however, “While
everyone seems to agree
that conservation is good, it
is not immune to con-
troversy. The kind of all-

describes would require a
very large and coordinated
effort just to train thousan-

insulations.
“Local, zoning laws and
building codes would have

on which there is full
