A review of energy options for generating electricity covers coal, petroleum, and synfuels under nonrenewable resources and municipal wastes, biomass, wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, ocean thermal, and nuclear under renewable resources. Summaries of the advantages and disadvantages of each in terms of thermodynamic properties, economics, and availability illustrate how the relative costs and benefits must be balanced to achieve an appropriate mix. They also underscore the importance of energy conservation as the single best energy option. 15 references, 23 figures, 1 table. (DCK)
