With supplies of non-renewable energy sources running low and the
threat of global warming and climate change, there is an urgent
need to look at other types of energy resources and how well they
can meet our power needs. While new technologies are being
developed, each energy resource comes at a cost. This series looks
at each energy resource, the technology and cost of how it is used
to meet power needs and how it impacts the environment and humans.
Each book explains how that power is generated and where it is
used, and then, using specific Let's Discuss panels, explores the
various advantages and disadvantages that concern it's use as an
alternative fuel source. Case studies examine specific usage
examples where that source has either worked or not worked so that
the reader can weigh up the pros and cons for the use of each
source against the alternatives.
