Reviews
Gr. 6-12. Using recent problems in California as a rationale for exploring alternative energy sources, this entry in the Opposing Viewpoints series features the usual roundup of thoughtful viewpoints and wealth of resource material. Section one includes articles that debate the abundance and danger of fossil fuels. Pieces in section two address alternate energy sources, including solar power, fuel cells, methane hydrates, geothermal energy, and wind farms ("Why I Hate Wind Farms and Think There Should Be More of Them"). Though the book will mainly attract students and environment-conscious readers, the section on alternatives to gasoline-powered vehicles may interest a broad audience; essays discuss several fuel possibilities, including "biomass" (garbage). Intriguing for readers who want the latest on how things may shape up in the future. Discussion questions and organizations to contact are appended. Roger Leslie
