Page 249 - The diagnosis of the US energy crisis is quite simple: demand for energy is increasing, while supplies of oil and natural gas are diminishing. Unless the US makes a timely adjustment before world oil becomes very scarce and very expensive in the 1980's, the nation's economic security and the American way of life will be gravely endangered.

For example, gas consumption in the industrial sector would have risen from 22 percent to 37 percent, permitting a substantial reduction in consumption of oil from 18 to 11 percent. A dramatic reduction of industrial purchased electricity from 26 to 11 percent would have resulted largely from the substitution of less costly and more efficient electricity cogenerated* on site.
Page 249 - To the extent that electricity from coal is substituted for oil and gas, the total amounts of energy used in the country will be somewhat larger due to the inherent inefficiency of electricity generation and distribution. But conserving scarce oil and natural gas is more important than saving coal.
Page 199 - Industrial Sector — Improvements in the industrial sector would have resulted primarily from cogeneration, upgrading of boilers and furnaces to higher efficiencies and variable-speed electric motors, although several other technologies such as boiler air/fuel ratio controls and devices that recover waste heat from furnaces, called recuperators, would also have accounted for increased shares of the market. The real potential for increased industrial productivity is probably much higher since we...
