Traveling the power line : from the Mojave Desert to the Bay of Fundy /

| 520 | |a In our power-hungry world, all the talk about energy - what's safe and what's risky, what's clean and what's dirty, what's cheap and what's easy - tends to generate more heat than light. What, the author wanted to know, is the real story on power production in this country? Approaching the question as a curious consumer, the author takes us along as she visits nine sites where electrical power is developed from different fuel sources. From a geothermal plant in the Mojave Desert to a nuclear plant in Nebraska, from a Wyoming coal-fired power plant to a Maine tidal-power project, the author offers an insider's look at how power is generated, how it affects neighboring landscapes and the people who live and work there, and how each source comes with its own unique complications. | ||
