In our powerhungry world, all the talk about energywhats safe and whats risky, whats clean and whats dirty, whats cheap and whats easytends to generate more heat than light. What, Julianne Couch wanted to know, is the real story on power production in this country? Approaching the question as a curious consumer, Couch 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 coalfired power plant to a Maine tidalpower project, Couch gives us an insiders 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.The result is an informed, evenhanded discussion of energy production and consumption on the global, national, regional, local, andmost importantpersonal level. Knowledge is the real power this book imparts, allowing each of us to think beyond the flip of a switch to the real consequences of our energy use.
