From one form of energy comes strength to develop another.And another. Developing any source of energy - an oil field, a coal mine, a ura nium deposit-takes a lot of time and money. Fortunately, Conoco has revenues from all these sources. And we pool them. So we have the flexibility to apply financing where it's needed. And the stability to continue this financing over long years of development. For instance, we've plowed addi tional money into coal-to increase coal production, mine safety and employment. Now coal and oil help fund our development of uranium and research into new forms of energy, such as synthetic gas and gasoline, that aren't commercially practical today but could be in the future. This year alone, we plan to spend about $1 billion to develop more energy supplies. From the many forms of energy Conoco produces today comes the financial strength to produce the fuels of tomorrow.
