Зеленая планета. Возобновляемые источники энергии

The book explains in simple terms what energy is and why it is necessary, and what renewable energy sources can replace fossil fuels. Can humanity reduce the extraction of coal, oil, and natural gas and provide itself with the necessary energy using only the power of wind, waves, solar heat, or even plants? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these alternative energy sources? Children hear from an early age about the importance of treating nature with care. Sandrine Dumas-Rua, in her book "Green Planet," decided to go further and explain to young readers what fossil fuels are, where they come from, and how their extraction and use affect our planet. Children will learn that extraction, transportation, and carbon dioxide generated during combustion all poison nature and cause enormous harm to the environment. Moreover, fossil fuels may eventually run out. What should we do then? Do we really need to give up hot water, warm houses, and transportation? Or are there alternative sources of energy? The search for new energy sources that do not pollute nature is one of the main tasks for scientists. All the most important information that needs to be known about alternative energy sources is collected in this book, after reading which the child will be able to understand all types of energy and their impact on the environment.
