Powering Our Future An Energy Sourcebook for Sustainable Living

Nearly all of the world's energy consumption is supplied by four non-renewable energy sources: oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium. What would modern civilization look like if we experienced severe shortages of one or more of these resources? This question is not as unrealistic as many believe. In fact, oil production is expected to begin its descent soon, with natural gas in close pursuit.Powering Our Future opens the door to a world powered by sustainable energy use. Like a seed that awaits our sowing in the fertile humus of its potential, renewable energy sources are awaiting their due season. This period of transition is approaching rapidly. When it arrives, we will, by necessity, live in a world characterized by more sustainable and dynamic lifestyles.Powering Our Future explains: The impacts of non-renewable (and renewable) resources. The current and emerging renewable energy sources and their global feasibility. Solutions for creating a sustainable energy future, rooted in a new consciousness.Institute, Alternative is the author of 'Powering Our Future An Energy Sourcebook for Sustainable Living', published 2005 under ISBN 9780595339297 and ISBN 0595339298.
