AbstractMany governments are at present attempting to formulate energy strategies for ensuring future supplies. the debate over nuclear power is continuing and ‘pollution‐free’ alternative energy sources are also being considered. Points for and against each of the possible energy sources are discussed here and the possible hazards of nuclear power (e.g. radioactivity) are compared with the possible dangers of ‘free‐energy’ sources (e.g. an increased ‘greenhouse’ effect). the importance of an integrated energy policy is stressed. Such a policy does not rely on a single energy source but utilizes the full spectrum of possibilities and can incorporate the more immediate concepts of
