Volumes 2, 3, and 4 look at the renewable energy sources that will play a vital role in our future, including solar energy, hydrogen fuel cells, wind and water power, and geothermal energy. The concluding volume focuses on efforts to develop a global sustainable energy system that encompasses energy efficiency, conservation, and a healthy, cleaner environment. Includes interviews of teachers, students, and businesspeople in the renewable energy fields Provides energy timelines charting the historic development of different energy sources Offers 150 detailed Illustrations of electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells plus 50 tables, and charts of data Presents a number of maps showing the global development of wind power, solar power, and geothermal power A bibliography of print and online resources is included for further reading Full Product DetailsAuthor: John F.
