Primary energy production in the Soviet Union problems and prospects
Abstract Analyses and commentary on the Soviet energy situation by observers in the non-communist countries have usually been primarily historical or have dealt with particular aspects only. However, in this article, Mr Chesshire and Miss Huggett review the current situation, problems and prospects of the primary energy industries in the USSR and the extent of Soviet trade in fossil fuels with both her COMECON partners and the non-communist countries. They also discuss the implications of long-term Soviet economic growth projections and possible changes in international relations, with particular reference to the possible emergence of the USSR in the longer term as a significant exporter of primary fuels.
WORLD ENERGY RESOURCES: A SURVEY
Abstract The World Energy Conference published Survey of energy resources 1974 in September 1974 to coincide with the 9th WEC meeting, held in Detroit. This is the third in a series of surveys by WEC, the previous volumes having been published in 1962 and 1968. Dr Albert Parker, CBE, was responsible for these earlier surveys and here he reviews the most recent one which was compiled by a team from the US Atomic Energy Commission's Oak Ridge National Laboratory with the assistance of an international panel of advisors.
