For each one, it explains the underlying physical and technological principles, and examines environmental impacts and future prospects. This new edition has been carefully updated to include recent advances in renewable energy technology and to reflect increasing concerns over the environmental impact and sustainability of conventional fossil and nuclear fuel use.
