The four biggest energy sources—oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium—currently power our earth. What would happen to our society if we experienced severe shortages of one or more of these resources? Such a glimpse into the future may become reality sooner than we think. Oil production is soon expected to begin a rapid descent, with natural gas in close pursuit. Powering Our Future is an educational tool that opens the door to a future fueled by sustainable, renewable energy. Consumers will learn:
· - How our world has become dependent on four nonrenewable resources. ·
- How each resource impacts us politically, economically, and environmentally. ·
- How renewable resources such as hydrogen, fuel cells, wind power, solar energy, hydropower, and more are waiting in the wings. ·
- How the transition to renewable resources will take place, offering economically stable and environmentally safe choices.
Powering Our Future is a solution-oriented guide that will empower you to make more informed choices as a voter, a contributor to a global economy, and a citizen of the earth. | | | Features: | |

Energy in the FutuereMay 16, 2011
By Edwin T. Richard
Powering our future covers the changes in sources and use of Energy in the future, effects on Global warming, etc. It does not take a scientific education to understand. Reading ths book and discussion of it should be required for many national and state legislators, administrators, utility regulators and political pundits. The press should site our leaders,individually, as they ignore the issues of coal,petroleum and natural gas. There must be more effort to help our Nation begin to prepare for the future. Preparation now will be much less of an economic shock, a loss of reliable power, etc. Climbing a ramp beats falling off a cliff and trying to regain the high ground with a smashed body.
