POW! Meet the Renewables

Who are the Renewables?
They’ve always been around: explore how the old fossils took over their turf. Understand what happens when fossil fuels are burnt, adding members of the Greenhouse Gas Gang into the atmosphere.

The complex science of Energy is simplified so that everyone can better understand the mechanisms at play. Coal, Oil, Gas as well as Wind, Sun, Water, Biomass and Geothermal - all present their case.

The facts, insights and solutions are packaged in a unique blend of text, illustration and humour. This book, while designed for students who are asking the difficult questions, provides easily accessible knowledge for parents and teachers alike.
