BS>The USSR contains abundant resources of primary energy, but the problem deals with the distance of these resources from the industrialized areas. The Soviet Union has about half the world's natural gas reserves, rich oil and hydropower resources, and practically inexhaustible coal deposits. Two solutions to the problem are being studied--- construction of a special coal-freight super- railway and generation of electricity at the mine mouth and then transmit it to the Western republics. Then the development of more efficient pipelines and power transmission lines is necessary. The Soviet cooperation in energy production with Western countries and pacts signed with other countries are discussed. (MCW)
