This report reviews America's current energy position. The energy sources studied include oil and gas, coal, nuclear energy, solar energy, and geothermal energy. Each source is analyzed in terms of current use, technology for extracting and developing the energy, research and development funding, and projections for future consumption and production. The study concludes that the inability of domestic sources to meet demands and the rising dependence on foreign supplies predict the end of low-cost energy. (MR)
