Books with title Future Energy

Our world is in crisis--the burning of our dwindling supply of fossil fuels causes pollution, contributes to climate change, and makes energy prices skyrocket. This six-book series examines the current energy crisis, and explores how a combination of technologies can supply our energy-hungry society with the fuel it needs. Readers will come to undertand the advantages and disadvantages of key alternative energy sources, including nuclear, solar, wind, and waterpower. Readers will also learn about the promise of harnessing other renewable energy sources, such as hydrogen fuel cells, geothermal power, and biomass. Abdo & Daughters is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

Burning fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, may be accelerating Earths climate change. How can we develop clean, renewable sources of energy and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels? Energy for the Future clearly presents the pros and cons of alternative energy sourcesfrom wind, water, and solar power to bio-fuels, hydrogen fuel cells, and nuclear power. A section in the back of the book will inspire young environmentalists by suggesting ways they can help protect their planet.

Power stations burn coal to generate electricity. Airplanes, buses, and cars burn oil for fuel. People burn natural gas to heat their homes. Fossil fuels make our lives much easier, but they are also causing a major problem―global warming. Energy for the Future looks at some of the alternative sources of energy―everything from biofuels and hydrogen fuel cells to nuclear, solar, and wind power. This book also suggests some of the ways people can work together to tackle the global energy crisis and slow down global warming.
