This volume focuses on a few renewable energy sources, viz. wind
energy plus energy from water movement and natural temperature
differences that in principle could provide enormous energy
resources. Energy from wind has been a rapidly growing source of
energy as wind turbines have grown in size and especially as wind
turbines have moved offshore. Hydroelectric dams have continued to
be used as energy sources particularly in developing countries.
Other energy sources using water, including waves and tidal
sources, are also discussed in this volume. Finally, the volume
discusses differences between deep and surface ocean temperatures
plus the extraction of energy from the earth's extremely large
energy resource of magma deep below the surface. These latter two
energy resources in particular require further development and the
current book describes the latest advances coupled with pointing
possible paths forward.
