Description
We've all heard that we need to save energy. Simply put, there is only a finite amount of coal, oil and natural gas left for us to use. Because we're using more energy than ever before, we've reached the point where we simply have no choice but to conserve what we have and create alternate sources for future use. 'Reduce, reuse and recycle' is more than a catchy marketing slogan. It's going to have to be a way of life. We like to think of energy independence as a journey - not a destination. Consider this book one of the tools you can use to plan your trip.
