Description

The world's energy needs are greater than ever before as populations increase and Asian countries awaken industrially and economically. The fact is, as the demand for oil-based energy is increasing, the world supply is decreasing. Now more than ever, the public must understand available energy alternatives. "Alternative Energy" introduces readers to energy sources that draw from such supplies as wind, sun, reservoirs, ocean tides, and ocean currents.
