Mares, J W

A transition in public perception and acceptance is helping to shape energy policies that will affect our energy future. The public is recognizing that crisis and instant technological fixes cannot provide the long-term answer, which lies in free competition to develop our abundant resources. New technologies are emerging that combine efficiency and economy, while causing less environmental damage. These new technologies will make coal and synthetic fuels viable resources. These attitude changes need to be applied to nuclear energy as well, but public acceptance demands credible answers to safety, environmental, and cost questions. (DCK)
