Energy from water : hydroelectric, tidal, and wave power / by Dickmann, Nancy,author.(CARDINAL)331568;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Types of energy -- Moving water -- Renewable energy -- How a dam works -- Where in the world? -- Small solutions -- Environmental impact -- Benefits of hydroelectricity -- Wave power -- Waves: for and against -- Tidal power -- Tidal pros and cons -- Power up!."For centuries, falling water has been used in parts of the world to create energy to run grinding stones at mills and irrigation systems for crops. This interesting book shows how the use of this "clean" form of energy, called hydroelectricity, is being expanded to help us build a more sustainable future. Discover how other forms of water-based energy, such as energy from ocean waves and tides, are being harnessed and used to help create electricity to power our homes, offices, and factories."--Ages 10-13Grades 7 to 81010LAccelerated Reader AR

Traveling the power line : from the Mojave Desert to the Bay of Fundy / by Couch, Julianne.(CARDINAL)553537;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-216).Of megawatts and meadowlarks : a Wyoming wind farm -- Angels and monsters : a Wyoming coal-fired power plant -- Fission and fishing : a Nebraska nuclear power plant -- Solids, liquids, and gases : a Texas gas field -- Homegrown revolution : an Iowa biomass research facility -- Journey a little way into the Earth : a Utah geothermal plant -- Water, water, everywhere : a Kentucky hydropower plant -- Don't let the sun go down, without capturing its energy : a Nevada solar-thermal power plant -- Harnessing the moon : a Maine tidal power project.In our power-hungry world, all the talk about energy--what's safe and what's risky, what's clean and what's dirty, what's cheap and what's easy--tends to generate more heat than light. What, Julianne Couch wanted to know, is the real story on power production in this country? Approaching the question as a curious consumer, Couch takes us along as she visits nine sites where electrical power is developed from different fuel sources. From a geothermal plant in the Mojave Desert to a nuclear plant in Nebraska, from a Wyoming coal-fired power plant to a Maine tidal-power project, Couch gives us an insider's look at how power is generated, how it affects neighboring landscapes and the people who live and work there, and how each source comes with its own unique complications.
