Parent, J D

This report updates previous IGT reports on U.S. and world conventional fossil fuel and uranium proved reserves and remaining recoverable resources. It also provides data on current and cumulative production of these nonrenewable energy sources and their life expectancies at selected annual consumption growth rates. The US is fortunate in possessing vast amounts of coal and shale oil. Although both present difficult economic and environmental problems in recovery and utilization, every effort should be made to use these resorces to a much greater degree, thereby reducing the dependence on costly and undependable foreign oil.
