Saving Coal Through Natural Ice Harvest
The United States fuel administration proposes a natural ice harvest to save coal this winter. Fifteen million tons of coal are used annually by ice factories and refrigerating plants, and each ton of natural ice saves 200 pounds of coal compared with artificial ice. Dr. Garfield will discuss plans with ice companies to increase natural ice storage, while households and farmers are urged to collect ice from rivers and ponds for next summer. If 5000 freezing plants are reorganized, coal savings could be enormous, with New Orleans potentially saving 100 tons daily or 36,000 tons yearly.
