摘要: Just a few years after the U.S. celebrated its first centennial it passed another milestone. In about 1885, coal replaced wood as nation’s primary energy source. Wood, properly managed, is renewable resource. Coal not. Nor are other sources developed and put to use in last 100 years. Coal, natural gas, petroleum, uranium, thorium, deuterium all resources that can be used but once.
