Nations hear alarm on dwindling fossil fuels and future power
At the United Nations Atoms for Peace conference, Dr. Homi J. Bhabha warned coal oil and gas reserves could run out within a century without mass immigration to new energy sources. By 2001 annual coal demand could reach 7 500 million tons and energy use would rise threefold by 1975 and eightfold by century's end. Fusion energy may offer a permanent solution, though experts doubt rapid development. Alberta, meanwhile, produces about 240 000 barrels of oil daily from over 4 000 wells.
