Wed., September 5,1979—THE MAIL-JOURNAL
QUICK ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How much do you know about energy shortages and alternative energy sources. Here are some questions to test your knowledge on this important subject.
1. In 1977, about 29 percent of all energy used in the U.S. was for generation of electric power. By the year 2000, this is expected to rise to (a) 50 percent (b) 60 percent (7) 70 percent? 2. Nuclear power ptants are in operation throughout the U.S. In one month alohe (January 1979) they provided a combined output of what percent of the U.S. energy supply? (a) 10 percent (b) 14 precent (c) 22 percent?
ANSWERS: 1. (a) By the year 2000, 50 percent of all energy will be used to generate electric power, says the Edison Electric Institute. 2. (b) Altogether, U.S. nuclear power plants generated a gross total of, 27 billion kilowatts—between 12 and 13 percent of our national electric supply for the month of January. 1979. 3. (b) Although the cost of electricity is rising, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it ranks among the lowest of the average family’s expenses at two percent of the typical budget. Food ranks first at 17 percent. 4. (a) The Institute estimates it takes ten to twelve years to build a nuclear plant, due to “governmental indecision and uncertainties in the licensing process.”
Everybody In The Carpool!
If there was ever a need for togetherness, now’s the time. Carpooling togetherness, that is. Each working day, about 20 million Americans carpool to work. If you don’t, and think carpooling doesn’t affect you, you’reT wrong. It’s going to affect H you more and more as commuting costs rise, as freeways become more crowded, as energy gets more expensive and gasoline supplies lessen. The “Rush .Hour Book’’ answers some important questions about pooling. Here are a few: Money saved. The U.S. Department "of Transportation’s Federal Highway' Administration estimated in 1975 that a driver can save $2Bl to $654 a year on a 20-mile daily round trip by pooling. It’s even more now, of course.
Open House Syracuse V.F.W. Auxiliary No. 1342 I Cancer i Benefit Dance Featuring... “Knights Os The Road” Band j Saturday, Sept. 8-9 P.M.
3. The cost of electricity is a small part of the average family’s expenses. The estimated amount of the family budget spent on electricity is (a) 10 percent (b) two percent (c) 15 percent? 4. There are nearly 70 commercial nuclear power plants in the U.S. Others are on the drawing boards. Jjnder present conditions, it takes (a) ten to twelve years to build a nuclear power plant (b) four to five years (c) two years?
Other advantages. You don’t have the hassle of driving to work each day. And carpooling eliminates the need for an additional car in some families. Starting or joining a car pool. Check your place of business and your neighbors. When you carpool, you don’t have need to fill your tank as often. That saves you time —and sitting in line with the engine idling wastes gas. Experience has shown that when motorists try to fill their tanks to the brim, they usually misjudge and valuable gasoline overflows onto the ground. As much as one-third of the normal amount of calcium can be withdrawn from an adult's bones by his body before the loss will show up on an X-ray.
