Report divided in 3 parts. First part is a comparative study of five energy sources, including solar. The second part contains technical background papers on the development and utilization of all five (solar, tidal, wind, thermal and geothermic). A bibliography compiled by UNESCO comprises the third part of this report.

This report was prepared by the Solar Energy Panel--a joint
venture of NSF and NASA. "The scope of the Panel's activities
was defined to include ali applications of direct solar energy,
as well as power from wind, ocean thermal differences, and useful
energy from replenishable organic materials." Includes conclusions,

recommendations and references.
