It addresses three critical energy-related topics that are causing great confusion in public debate-global warming, the hydrogen economy, and nuclear power-and gives readers an opportunity to form a grounded, factually correct foundation for understanding the energy challenge and develop their own informed and actionable opinion. 606 $aPower resources 606 $aElectric power 615 0$aPower resources. 615 0$aElectric power. 676 $a333.79 686 $a83.65$2bcl 686 $a50.70$2bcl 700 $aWilson$b John R$0309776 701 $aBurgh$b Griffin$01597218 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823681003321 996 $aEnergizing our future$93918888 997 $aUNINA
