Halaman 22 - Congress shall have power to promote the progress of science and the useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries, and to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers.
Halaman 3 - In area after area we encounter soaring demands, shrinking resources, the consequent pressure toward rising real costs, the risk of wartime shortages, the strong possibility of an arrest or decline in the standard of living we cherish and hope to share.
Halaman 3 - Has the United States of America the material means to sustain its civilization?" would never have occurred to the men who brought this nation into greatness as the twentieth century dawned. But with the twentieth century now half gone by, the question presses and the honest answers are not glib. The...
Halaman 6 - The real costs of materials are not measured primarily in money ; they lie in the hours of human work and the amounts of capital required to bring a pound of industrial material or a unit of energy into useful form. These real costs have for some years been declining, and this decline has helped our living standard to rise. In this Commission's view, there is a serious possibility that this downward trend in real costs may be stopped or reversed tomorrow — if, indeed, this has not already occurred.
Halaman 4 - This vast drain, greater today than yesterday, and inescapably greater tomorrow than today, upon resources that cannot be renewed has become the most challenging aspect of our present-day economy. A ton of ore removed from the earth is a ton gone forever; each barrel of oil discovered means one less remaining.
Halaman 9 - To meet or anticipate our needs from the supply side, we stockpile, and we seek reserve materials capacity in safe areas, domestic and foreign. On the supply side, civilian authority remains more or less in control. But on the demand side, the military, particularly in wartime, is in a commanding position.
Halaman 4 - The time has clearly passed when we can afford the luxury of viewing our resources as unlimited and hence taking them for granted. In the United States the supplies of the evident, the cheap, the accessible, are running out.
Halaman 6 - ... collapsed. The real and deeply serious threat is that we shall have to devote constantly increasing efforts to acquiring each pound of materials from natural resources which are dwindling both in quality and quantity — thus finding ourselves running faster and faster in order to stay standing still. In short, the essence of the materials problem is costs.
Halaman 9 - Obviously, a study of this type is but a "paper" study, and cannot be used as a basis for a detailed design or even for knowing whether a detailed design is worth undertaking. I stress this fact because to date this is the only type of study which has been made for submarine nuclear power plants. If I may be so bold as to venture an opinion, I would guess that less than 1 percent of the work which will ultimately be required to design a submarine plant has now been accomplished.
Halaman 6 - ... resources are usually the cheapest; hence we skim the cream. Yet we have frequently found that today's use of the second best has advantages over yesterday's best. The newsprint industry, once confined to using northern spruce, can today use a faster growing southern pine, once useless to it. As the rich iron ores of the Mesabi approach exhaustion, we are learning to use lower-grade taconite ores. Renewing renewables: The US for generations has been mining out its renewable resources — forests,...
