Vehicles are running on petrol fuel, a rare but valuable item in this future world. Alternatives to petrol, such as solar or nuclear fusion power, have not been pursued, so there is nothing to replace the oil when it runs out.

  1. Huge, ugly, apartment blocks are thrown up to keep pace with the rapidly increasing population of the city. Birth control measures have failed and most people are out of work and ill-fed.

  1. Neglect and decay result in city systems—such as lighting—breaking down.

[Power for tomorrow's towns]

Present research in Euroe, USA and the USSR indicates that the 'Tokamak' nuclear fusion reactor could provide much of the energy for the people of tomorrow's towns. A tokamak generates an intense magnetic field in its doughnut shaped reaction chamber to burn atoms of deuterium and tritium fuel. The result, like a controlled H-bomb, is heat and light. The heat can be used to generate electricity.
