"How we harvest and consume energy is one of the most important topics of our time. Solar, wind, coal, oil: energy sources drive industries, innovation, market economies, and global societies, but they also have lasting impacts on our environment. The New York Times' reporting on energy technologies collected in this volume highlight the exciting advances in cutting edge energy production and the political debates around energy that will impact generations to come. Features such as media literacy terms and questions challenge readers beyond the text."-- Provided by publisher.
