Research findings are analyzed to determine the extent to which synfuels, electric vehicles, and railroad electrification may displace petroleum-based fuels by the year 2000. The technology impact assessment also includes concerns relative to ecological, biological and socioeconomic factors. Constraints on deployment of the technology are discussed relative to national energy policy. (ERA citation 08:049448)
