The Energy Crisis

The human race has reached a crisis point in the way it produces and uses its energy. Non-renewable resources are quickly disappearing, and increasingly society is turning to renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and wave power to produce the energy they need. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods? What does the future of energy hold? Can we as individuals make a difference? This book examines the issues. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper articles, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
