V. Read the passage carefully and then choose the correct answers.
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are
burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products
to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose wastes. 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 underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power is also
being tested. Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from
streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the
US, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists
are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments
are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
