such as oil and coal, remaining on Earth and countless voices blaming their use
for global climate change, many look to other fuel sources as the future of
power. They believe that harnessing the energy of sunlight, wind, water,
biofuels, and even heat within the planet is the key to renewable energy and a
healthier Earth. This enlightening series explores how each of these resources
can be used for power, as well as the benefits and challenges in implementing their
use worldwide. Cutting-edge technology is highlighted in the accessible text,
which is complemented by striking, vivid photographs.
