Consequences of energy <br />extraction and conversion in arid lands where <br />water is scarce are explored. The historical <br />past is utilized as a record for casting model <br />development plans into perspective; the worldwide <br />growth in ,energy consumption rates is considered <br />as the motive force behind many current energy <br />projects in arid lands. Energy sources (coal, <br />oil, gas, oil shale, solar energy, alternative <br />energy sources, fission, fusion, and geothermal) <br />are reviewed in terms of their consequences on <br />the air, land, water, and inhabitants of such <br />regions. Two rivers, the Colorado and the <br />Missouri, provide small-scale models of the <br />reward and hazards of heavily exploiting water- <br />short areas. In both instances, energy develop- <br />ment plans, as now proposed, will seriously <br />deplete the water supply, alter the quality of <br />the water, land, and air, and increase the <br />human population.
