Abstract	This book traces the relatively new role of electricity in our energy history, discusses old and new ways of producing it (and related environmental issues), and closes with an agenda of technology-related issues that await decisions. Topics are presented in nine chapters. Chapters focus on (1) energy use; (2) energy demand; (3) energy supply; (4) principles of electric power generation; (5) today's generating options, focusing on power from fossil fuels, nuclear power, and dry steam geothermal energy; (6) future generating options, considering clean coal combustion, solar power, wind power, ocean power, biomass conversion, emerging geothermal options, fuel cells, breeder reactors, and nuclear fusion; (7) electricity storage and delivery; (8) environmental concerns; and (9) making energy decisions. A glossary of key vocabulary words, reading list, list of information sources, and index are included. (JN)
