This series explores alternative energy resources, how they are produced, the technology necessary and what the future holds.
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 sustainable energy sources. But how does harnessing the Sun's energy work? What's needed and can it fulfil our energy needs?
While new technologies are being developed, each energy resource comes at a cost. This series looks at each energy resource, its technology, how it is used to meet power needs and its impact on the environment and humans. Each book explains how that power is generated and where it is used.
Suitable for readers aged 9+.
