Letter from Thomas Gold to Professor W H McCrea, 87 Houndean Rise, Lewes, Sussex, BN7 1EJ, England Encloses all his wisdom regarding geant solar outbursts. Has not seen Wolfendale's work on this, but will look for it. States he is working frantically on solving the energy crisis. The recipe that emerges is that one should drill wh erever one requires gas - it is as likely to be there as anywhere else. The whole idea of a shortage of gas (oil is another matter) only arises from a misconception about the origin of it. Has enclosed a brief statement about this. Has written a very long paper, but not yet published it. Enclosures; Large Solar Outbursts ... Apollo 11 Observations of a Remarkable Glazing ..... 20 April 1978
