Next term, Starr may transfer to the University of Utah, where he can take a variable course load, he says. "It's nice and quiet out there, peaceful...
...generating electricity. But energy experts are working on new ways in which the fuel could replace oil and gasoline, most notably in powering vehicles. Predicts Michel Halbouty, a Houston wildcatter: "Gas will be the nation's key energy supplier. We have lots of it, and there's a load more to be found...
Tearing out of the first dip, they reel from the force of 2.7 Gs -- nearly the gravity load that hits shuttle astronauts on their climb to orbit -- but only for an instant.

Frightening twists and turns dot the nearly one-mile course, and disaster seems inevitable as the train hurtles back and forth through its creaking wood supports. Finally, the sudden squeal of brakes in the station signals a merciful finish, and the stunned but happy passengers scramble...

Better to charge the car from a wall socket and use the solar cells elsewhere -- perhaps at power stations to ease the load of generators running on nuclear or nonrenewable fossil fuels. The real value of Sunraycer, says MacCready, was that its improvements in aerodynamics, lightweight materials and motor technology made possible GM's Impact, a non-solar electric car now being readied for mass production...
