Notes: Includes individual reports on:  - Secretary's annual report to Congress. Discusses Departments' policies, programs and strategies and assesses world energy outlook. Topics include : conservation; solar energy and other renewable energy; coal, petroleum and natural gas; electrical energy;nuclear energy; environment; defence programs; international and general science programs; energy information; economic regulation; energy production; and support operations.  - White paper on New Zealand Synthetic Fuels Corporation Limited Venture contracts. Parliamentary report presented to House of Representatives describing contract concluded by the Government and Mobil Oil Corporation for the manufacture of synthetic gasoline from the Maui gas field.  - 1982 energy plan. Parliamentary paper to the House of Representatives on review of 1981 Plan, pricing, demand forecasting, liquid fuels, electricity, gas, coal, resource requirements, research and development; and long term energy trends.  - Overseas energy organisations - Structures and tasks. Various re - ports from May 1979 to 1982.  - Report of the Ministry of Energy for the year ended 31 March 1982. arliamentary report presented to House of Representatives on energy policy and administration of mining, production and marketing of coal, management and sale of geothermal energy, and bulk electricity supply system.  - Toward energy independence. Many communities in USA are taking responsibility for their own energy needs and are finding innovative local alternatives to conventional energy sources.  - Thinking about energy. Summarises new report World Energy Survey which explores energy alternatives, conservation, role of energy in economic growth, and policy considerations.  - Orbiting power plants. The solar power satellite is gaining increasing recognition as a major option for the 21st century.  - Alternative energy projects - Power from water hyacinths?. In many small projects across USA, entrepreneurs are finding new and novel ways of making energy.  - How bright is sunpower?. Although not the only solution, solar power has come a long way in relatively few years, and its future growth is likely to be more dramatic.  - Tapping sun-warmed ocean water for power. Power generated from temperature differences in ocean water has the potential to fill significant portion of the world's energy needs, although technical problems remain.  - Geopressured brine - Natures's energy soda pop. Vast stores of hot brine bubbling with natural gas lie waiting to be tapped, but formidable natural and technical obstacles must be overcome first.  - Wonders that could change the 1980's. Many new USA technological developments - some affecting energy, deep sea mining, communications and genetic engineering are on the boards to bring exciting new changes to the world during the 1980's.  - Energy for the future. This Press and Publications Service special packet of 10 abridged articles from USA magazines surveys alternative sources of energy for the future, including solar power, synthetic fuels, unconventional natural gas sources, ocean thermal energy and fusion. One article looks at local community energy projects and another examines some unusual energy sources that small businesses are exploring.  - Fusion - The ultimate energy source. Harnessing the power of nuclear fusion would provide inexhaustible safe energy source for the 21st century and beyond. Describes projects at Princeton University's Plasma Physics Laboratory  - Undersea turbines. Huge turbines placed in the ocean's major currents could generate electricity economically. The author, one of the developers of the Coriolis project, describes the evolution of the concept.  - Synthetic fuels. Discusses major elements in US synthetic fuels production program, including technology, production processes and goals, and economic and environmental considerations.  - Transportation energy contingencies strategies. Part I. The planning process - Roles and responsibilities. Report aims to provide technical assistance to State and local governments in preparing energy contingency plans, particularly focussed on transit, paratransit, and ridesharing services. Provides guidance for planning and implementation of these initiatives.  - Transportation energy contingency planning. Addresses short term issues and what can be done by local officials in advance to prepare for sudden petroleum shortage. Includes problems, contacts and current program, annotated bibliography, and the 1980 New York city transit strike
