II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many
communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce
electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of
waste.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars.
But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to
harness - power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being
tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power 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 potential
source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents,
tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of the
temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
