renewable energy resources

Provides an introduction to different types of energy, including water, wind, and solar power.

Explores varieties of alternative energy resources that are not destructive to the environment.

Discusses the present energy crisis, types of fuels now in use, alternative energy sources, and the conservation of energy.

Compiles quantitative information on alternative energy forms, and describes the efforts being made to research them and the issues involved in making them viable energy sources; covers solar, biomass, wind, ocean, fusion, geothermal, and hydrogen energy.

A comprehensive guide to the alternative energy sources and technologies that are available to the general public that includes information on the different types of heat sources, propulsion methods, and electric sources that can be used instead of the typical, natural resource-depleating methods commonly used.

Explores the need for using alternative energy sources such as wind, water, and solar power, along with biofuels and geothermal energy.

Argues that cutting oil consumption in the U.S. is an unrealistic goal and that climate change should be addressed by reducing coal use, discussing the history of coal mining and combustion in the U.S., the relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature, and currently available low-carbon and zero-carbon technologies.

Simple text and photographs describe such alternative energy sources as wind, water, and solar power.

Examines possible energy sources for the future, such as fusion, ocean power, organic fuels, and bioreactors.

Examines the current state of the environment and the lack of progress in stopping climate change. Discusses why efforts to stop global warming have failed, and argues for a new energy policy that includes ending the use of coal, carbon pricing, and new technologies.
