Summary
An entertaining and informative guide to where renewable energy has been, where it is today, and where it's heading. Shere begins with a tour of a traditional coal-fueled power plant in his home state of Indiana, then travels from coast to coast speaking to scientists, scholars and innovators. He immersed himself in the green energy world, and tells the stories of the most interesting and promising types of renewable energy: namely, biofuel, solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower.
