The search for alternative resources of energy has resulted in various directions. Many
communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity.
Changing waste products into gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental
work is being done to make synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars. But today, that process has proved
expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal
power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.

Some experts are trying to revive hydroelectric power which is derived from streams and
rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United
States, but today it supplies only four per cent. The oceans are another source of energy. Scientists
are studying ways to change the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves into electricity.
Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce
energy.

* Answer the questions.

1. What are many communities doing to produce electricity?

_______________________________________________________________________

2. Has the process of making synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars proved cheap?

3. Where is hydroelectric power derived from?

4. What percentage of the electricity used in the United States does hydroelectric power provide
today?

* Read the passage again and decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

1. The search for alternative resources of energy has resulted in a few directions.
