The research of alternative resources of energy has resulted in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Changing waste products into gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental work is being done to make synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars. But today, that process has proved expensive. Giant windmills have been built to provide a considerable source of electricity. Other experiments in geothermal power are being tested to harness power deep inside the earth.

Some experts are trying to revive hydroelectric power which is derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one-third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four percent. The oceans are another source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to change the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves into electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

What percentage of the electricity used in the United States did hydroelectric power use to provide?

Dear Kate,

How have you been? It has been a long time since I wrote a letter. I was caught up with the holidays and Mama's family came over, so was not able to write any. Hope you have become accustomed to the hostel food there.

When Mama and her family came over, we all went to the Jim Corbett National Park. It was spread on a huge area with huge deciduous and mango trees. There were more than 100 species of trees, with so many varieties of birds, reptiles, and other mammals. The Tigers were the special tourist attractions there.

We also went on an early morning safari and we were able to spot a sambar deer and an elephant. There were the Kalagarh dam and the Corbett falls which were awesome. I will show you all the pictures when you come over for the next holidays.

Also, let's plan to visit there together again when you come here.

Study well, eat well, and sleep well.

Take care.

Love,

Jack

Polyester is now being used for bottles. ICI., the chemicals, and plastics company believes that it is now beginning to the grip of glass on the bottles business and thus take advantage of this huge market.

All the plastics manufacturers have been experiencing hard times as their traditional products have been doing badly worldwide for the last few years. Between 1982 and 1984 the Plastics Division of ICI had lost a hundred and twenty million dollars and they felt that the most hopeful new market was in packaging, bottles, and cans.

Since 1982 it has opened its new factories producing “Melina”, the raw material from which high-quality polyester bottles are made.

The polyester bottle was born in the 1970s when soft drink companies like Coca-Cola started selling their drinks in giant two-liter containers. Because of the build-up of the pressure of gas in these large containers, glass was unsuitable. Nor was PVC, the plastic which had been used for bottles since the 1960s, suitable for drinks with gas in them. A new plastic had to the made.

Glass is still cheaper for the smaller bottles and will continue to be so unless oil and plastic become much cheaper, but plastic does well for the larger sizes.

Polyester bottles are virtually unbreakable. The manufacturers claim they are also lighter, less noisy when being handled, and can be re-used. Shopkeepers and other business people are unlikely to object to a change from glass to polyester since these bottles mean few breakages, which are costly and time-consuming. The bottles with interesting shapes, to try and make them visually more attractive to the public.

The next step could be to develop a plastic that could replace tins for food. The problem here is the high temperatures necessary for cooking the food in the container.

Plastics of various kinds have been used for making bottles__________
