This publication contains full color fold-outs that graphically present the national energy crisis. The most effective way of using this book is for the reader to open the designated fold-out when suggested and then follow its description in the text. Fold-outs reveal our national energy dilemma, its background, and the possible climax to the dilemma in the 1990's. These fold-outs can be put together to form a real model. The energy unit exposed in this energy display system is the million barrels per day of oil equivalent (MB/DOE). This publication was designed to be both readable and understandable and a glossary of terms is included. (MR)
