With global warming and climate crisis and the rise in energy prices, looking at more sustainable types of energy resources, how well they can meet our power needs and how they work has never felt so relevant. Solar power is one of the major ustainable power sources. But how does harnessing the sun's energy work? What's needed and can it fulfill our energy needs? While new technologies are being developed, each energy resource comes at a cost. This series looks at each energy resource, the technology and cost of how it is used to meet power needs and how it impacts the environment and humans. Each book explains how that power is generated and where it is used"--Publisher's description ER -
