Small energy sources may provide a powerful tool for building energy self-reliance and advancing economic development in many countries of the Third World as well as in industrialized countries. This was the dominant theme of the UNITAR Conference on Small Energy Resources, held in Los Angeles, California, 9-18 September 1981. Over 300 delegates from some sixty countries attended ten tightly scheduled days of presentations, discussions and impromptu gatherings. Dr. Joseph Barnea, Scientific Secretary to the Conference and Senior Fellow of UNITAR, coordinated the far reaching programme which provided a fresh assessment of the world potential for rural energy development and pooled technical exchange. Oil, gas, shale, tar sand, coal, hydropower, geothermal, wind, biomass, and solar were addressed in this meeting.
