Book excerpt: Explains the forms of energy called "renewable" because these fuel sources are constantly replenished and will not run out. Renewable energy -- like the sun and wind -- is readily available throughout the U.S. Renewable energy technologies take this energy and convert it into usable forms of energy -- most often electricity, but also heat, chemicals, or mechanical power. These technologies are often described as "clean" or "green" because they produce little or no pollutants. Chapters: buying green power: sorting out your choices; making your own power; clean choices for heating, cooling, and lighting in the home; clean fuels and vehicles; and the future of renewable energy.
