OBJECTIVE The rapid depletion of fossil fuels, particularly petroleum and natural gas, makes consideration of various alternative sources a matter of great importance..This conference will provide the latest information on the status and future possibilities for the following alternative sources of energy: nuclear breeders, nuclear fusion, solar energy, ocean thermal energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, synthetic fuels and hydrogen. Although the primary emphasis will be on the technologies associated with each energy source, discussions on economic, social and environmental effects will also be included. PROGRAM FORMAT Three days of invited lectures, paper and poster presentations, and discussions are planned. The program will include sessions on: SOLAR ENERGY THERMAL STORAGE BIOMASS & BIOCONVERSION PHOTOVOLTAICS OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY WIND ENERGY HYDRO POWER NUCLEAR BREEDERS DEFENSE ENERGY SYSTEMS
