Energy needs predicted E By KAREN CORNELISON Predicting energy needs for the future is the job of a computer, called an “energy-environment simulator, which will be on display at the Memorial Student Center today. Dr. Bob Jones and Dr. John Stein- brink demonstrated tbe computer and discussed some of the myths about energy at a meeting of dele gates for the Student Conference of National Affairs Thursday morning. Jones and Steinbrink are co directors of the Energy Awareness Project at the University of Houston at Clear Lake. They have run the Citizens Energy Workshop Program for two years. The computer’s size is about 12 cubic feet. It has the names of energy sources such as coal, natural gas and petroleum listed in a row. There is a clock that ticks off 100 years per min ute. As the years pass on the clock, a red light goes on underneath each source as it “runs out. According to this machine, natural gas will be de pleted in 50 years, petroleum in 150 years, and coal in 400 years. iampai The “energy-environment simulator” is a computer that pri^e toj diets when various energy sources will run out.

It accounts for increased consumption, but does not make provisions for increased pro duction which would deplete energy sources even faster. "For us to sit here and predict what day we re going to run out of energy is ridiculous,” Jones said. "But we can come up with some ranges. ' Jones said natural gas could last from 15 to 120 years, depending on how much more is found and pro duced. Petroleum, be said, could last from 50 to 400 years. Steinbrink discussed some energy "myths that be said need to be dis pelled. “The energy crisis is not a crisis, he said. “It is more of a dilemma or an on-going situation. Another myth is the “technical fix myth. Smith said that too many people be lieve science and technology will fix tbe problem, or that politicianBj^ed solve it.
