Energy Awareness

Abstract

This presentation of historical and geographical facts concerning the fossil fuel and natural gas energy supplies of the world, and the research and development programs of the U.S. Navy is an outgrowth of a television presentation. A short historical review of energy use patterns in the U.S. is given. A discussion of present-day known supplies of various energy kinds, their geographical locations, and their present and projected price scenarios is presented. To this is added the U.S. Navy's requirements in both energy quantities and energy finances, with the result that the need for an effective energy research and development program becomes evident. Discussion of the Navy's Energy Research and Development Program starts with program structure and then moves through applications to ships, aircraft, facilities and mobility fuels.
