ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

From the author of Cocktail Party Guide to Global Warming,
this straightforward book tells you everything you need to
know about green-energy options.
provides concise, easy-to-understand explanations
of alternatives to fossil fuel-based energy. Annette Saliken shares new developments in solar,
wind, earth, hydro, ocean and biomass energy. She compares the pros and cons of each type
and answers frequently asked questions such as:
How is biomass carbon neutral?
What is the difference between geothermal and geoexchange energy?
Are fuel cells a type of alternative energy?
How is solar electricity different from solar heating?
What options do I have for making my home more energy efficient?
Written simply and objectively without dumbing-down or preaching, this
book is a succinct guide to how we can address our growing energy needs in
a way that moves society toward innovation and economic growth and away
from greenhouse-gas emissions, oil spills and rising fuel prices.
