the correct answer to each of the questions.
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities
are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste
products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes.
 Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars.
But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness 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 in the US,
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 currents, tides, and waves to electricity.
Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce
energy.
