Meanwhile, there, are all around us prodigious alternate energy resources awaiting development. These include the sun itself; the wind; the heat of the earth, especially in our volcanic region on the Island of Hawaii; biomass--the things which grow from our fertile soil--and ocean thermal energy conversion. This new volume reviews and analyzes geothermal power development in Hawaii.

    Frontispiece Advanced Lunar Base In this panorama of an advanced lunar base, the main habitation modules in the background to the right are shown being covered by lunar soil for radiation protection. The modules on the far right are reactors in which lunar soil is being processed to provide oxygen. Each reactor is heated by a solar mirror. The vehicle near them is collecting liquid oxygen from the reactor complex and will transport it to the launch pad in the background, where a tanker is just lifting off. The mining pits are shown just behind the foreground figure on the left. The geologists in the foreground are looking for richer ores to mine.

On the basis of our data, and using statistical methods, 3 chemically distinct groups of Darwin glass were identified: A (low Fe, Al = LFe,Al, or average K&win glass group), B (HFe,Al group), and C (HMg,Na group). The glasses of group C also show anomalous enrichments of several elements, e.g., Cr, Mn, Co, and Ni. Electron microprobe studies show that the glasses are inhomogeneous on the micrometer scale, which is typical for impact glasses. The geochemistry of all &sses is very similar to terrestrial sediments and thus supports the impact origin model. We have performed mixing calculations which show that in general Darwin gIass can be formed by melting and mixing local target rocks. The best fit is obtained for a mixture of 30% quart&e, 60% shale BIDG, and IO% shale Bl-DG. Some major element contents do not agree exactly, which is most probably due to the limited selection of target rocks that were available for our study.
