The publication of this volume marks the twenty-fifth year since the American Power Conference was formed as successor to the Midwest Power Conference, which first met under the sponsorship of Illinois Institute of Technology in 1938. Since that time there have been many changes in the power industry, including advances of undreamed proportion. The nation has been through trying times including a World War, and the birth of the Atomic Age under the stands of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago in 1942. The responsibilities and benefits associated with this new form of energy are enormous and, in the face of dwindling supplies of oil and gas and the rising opposition to nuclear power, the nation again faces one of its greatest challenges--the planning of its energy future. Facing this challenge, the American Power Conference fulfills a special need by providing a free and independent national forum for a frank and open discussion of the issues and for the presentation of factual papers in the language of the engineer. A separate abstract was prepared for each of 15 papers for Energy Research Abstracts (ERA); 32 of the abstracts will appear in Energy Abstracts for Policy Analysis (EAPA). 5 papers were processed earlier.
