	Energy; Gasoline; Oil; Petroleum Geology; Power Generation; Renewable Resources	Slide 112 in Mobil slide show 'Quest for Energy'. Development of new or improved sources of electrical energy, especially from renewable sources, must receive governmental support. These future technologies are not cost effective in today's fossil fuel economies, thus we must provide incentives to sustain their development at the earliest possible time.

Photo ID: h5inx0	Subject: Petroleum	Description
	Energy; Gas; Hydrocarbons; Oil; Petroleum Geology; Reservoir; Sampling	Slide 90 in the Mobil slide show 'Quest for Energy'. Once an interval of probable reservoir rock with possible hydrocarbons present is penetrated, a special tool in lowered down the hole to recover formation fluids within that specific interval. This provides a test not only of the type of fluids present but the rate at which they will flow out of the formation.
