J.D. Parent

Abstract

Six tables summarize the potential supplies and life expectancies of recoverable fossil-fuel and uranium resources. The variations among estimates made by different groups also appear in the tables. The life expectancies of US fossil fuels range from the year 2022 to 2220, depending upon the annual growth range of demand and the presence of undiscovered resources. (DCK)
