garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is
also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal,
oil shale and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are under way to
harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal, heat from the earth, is also being tested. Some experts expect

power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four percent. The

currents, tides and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences
in ocean water to produce energy.
