Power and transportation, two services that are essential to and also threaten the quality of life in the U.S., are discussed. This volume presents facts about who uses and needs all the power; what is the real nature of the crisis in natural resources brought on by demands for increasing amounts of energy; and what hazards are truly involved in nuclear power. Also examined are: progress being made in developing automobiles that do not pollute; creation of mass-transit systems; and sorting out of the problems of the expensive air transportation sector. Finally, the authors explain what citizens themselves can do to cope with these two crises that daily confront the mobile, energy-hungry American. (MCW)
