The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products tc produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes. Experiment work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale, and coal tars. Up-to-date, that process has prover expensive. Other experiments are underway to control power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested. Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used ir the United States, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
