"For the past few centuries, fossil fuels have generated most of our world's energy. But these fuels pollute the environment, and they will eventually run out. Today, scientists are developing cleaner and more sustainable sources of power. Alternative Energy examines several of these promising technologies, as well as the science behind them. Learn how the energy sources of the future can change our world for the better." --Publisher's description
