Renewable energy / by Brundle, Harriet,Author(DLC)no2015144958;
From wind power to solar power, there are so many renewable energy sources available today. Yet, fossil fuels are still the way most power is generated. This book tackles that fact by introducing readers to key concepts such as the definition of renewable energy and the problems with continued use of fossil fuels. Readers are introduced to alternative energy generation methods in age-appropriate detail guided by friendly narrators. A cute, colorful design complements the at-level text.
