Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis:
Easy-to-understand Resources Provide Information on Sustainable Energy for Our Future Many scientists believe that the fossil fuels that make us comfortable also make us sick. This important new series helps kids understand what can be done to create healthy, sustainable energy for the future. Each of the eight titles explains a different type of energy, how it works, and how government and industry are developing new methods to use it so that it is affordable and clean. For readers of these fascinating, easy-to-understand books, turning on the TV or booting up the computer will never be quite the same. Biofuel can be made from many organic materials. Open wood fires like campfires are terribly inefficient and unhealthy, but producing bioenergy from corn, animal waste, and other kinds of natural materials is far safer, more ecological, and great for the economy. Kids will learn in this book why many scientists believe biofuel will provide important energy in the future.
