Annotation: 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. Burning petroleum is one of the main culprits in the acceleration of global warming. The United States uses 25 percent of the world's oil, yet it has only 4 percent of the world's population and 3 percent of the world's oil reserves. This book discusses ways the United States can find more oil on its own land, use its own oil more safely and efficiently, and escape the trap of buying oil abroad, to improve the quality of life and the environment in the future.
