Geothermal energy development and utilization is discussed in general with emphasis on its capability in Texas. Transporting Alaskan crude from the point of drilling to the lower 48 is followed and the plans of Sohio to send some of the oil from California to Texas for nationwide distribution via existing pipelines owned by Southern California Gas Company and El Paso Natural Gas Company are told. An article, Coal as a Feedstock, discusses Texas' plans for future use of coal and lignite. Some new tools for uranium exploration have been tested in Texas to directly measure uranium ore grade, thus contributing to more rapid and less expensive uranium ore discovery and production. This new tool transmits lithologic and radiometric data to surface recording equipment. A new purchasing program called the Experimental Technology Incentives Program is expected to save Texas thousands of dollars in yearly operating costs and some data on state purchases are cited. An energetic energy conservation program implemented by San Antonio's Transportation Systems Management Element is reviewed. Its intent is to reduce the amount of fuel consumed by local citizens, thus improving the city's economy. The reserves of oil estimated in the U.S. OCS and legislation pertaining to this resource are summarized. Legislation and revenues dealing with OCS reserves lying off the coast of Texas are discussed. Recent information published in the Energy Policy Monitor on energy sources and much related data are briefly abstracted. (MCW)
