An exceptionally timely volume that weighs the costs and benefits
of alternative energy sources and their implications for reducing
energy consumption. As this book makes clear, civilization cannot
long continue to ride on an oil slick. Worldwide, many people have
come to see dependence on coal, and especially on oil, not only as
unsustainable, but as profoundly destabilizing, both
environmentally and politically. While ever-increasing demands
continue to be placed on "mainstream" energy sources, recurring
attempts have been made to generate power in "alternative" ways.
After retracing some of these efforts, this succinct and
historically informed volume explores the ongoing debate over
alternative energy that gathered strength in the 20th century,
showing how that debate mirrors larger attitudes toward energy and
consumption. Like other volumes in this series, Alternative Energy
is designed to provide material for student reports and debate
arguments. It is an outstanding sourcebook for those interested in
investigating the problems and prospects of alternative fuels.
