Bay State Scientist Calls For New Electric Power System
Massachusetts scientist Dr. Arthur Kantrowitz urged Congress to back a magne tohydrodynamics system as a cleaner, more efficient power source. He described the MHD method before the Senate Interior Committee, noting potential reductions in water and air pollution, and greater reliability. He said the concept has been known for over a century, with feasibility shown in 1959 at Avco's lab, and warned U.S. development lags behind the Soviet Union, Japan, and West Germany.
