1. The Economics of Clean Energy
2018 by Kathryn Roberts
"In 2017, approximately 69 percent of Americans expressed their support for reducing carbon emissions from coal power plants due to environmental concerns and climate change. However, a pressing question remains: Is the transition to cleaner energy sources financially feasible? This book delves into the economic aspects of different alternative energy sources, shedding light on their viability. It delves into the ongoing debate surrounding the most rational path forward, providing readers with valuable insights into the critical decisions faced by policymakers and the energy industry. Through this exploration, readers will be equipped to form their own informed opinions on how to address this urgent issue."

2. Clean Energy, Climate and Carbon
2012 by Peter J Cook
"Designed for the general reader, 'Clean Energy, Climate and Carbon' navigates the global challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It commences by examining the historical variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and their underlying causes. Subsequently, the book delves into an array of energy technologies, evaluating their potential and constraints in mitigating carbon dioxide emissions. While the imperative to curb carbon dioxide is evident, the reality is that worldwide fossil fuel consumption is on the rise, a trend likely to persist for decades. In light of this, the book provides an in-depth exploration of carbon capture and storage (CCS), an often unfamiliar clean energy technology. It addresses questions surrounding carbon dioxide capture from flue gases, transportation, suitable rock formations for storage, retention mechanisms, cost considerations, and how CCS compares to other alternatives. Additionally, the book delves into the political landscape that influences discussions on clean energy technology, including the impact of carbon pricing and the prospects of achieving emission reductions by 2020 and beyond. For individuals interested in climate change or looking to enhance their understanding of clean energy technologies, including CCS, this book offers a comprehensive perspective on both the opportunities and challenges inherent in reducing emissions amid a seemingly unstoppable global surge in energy demand."

3. Renewable Energy: Sources and Methods
2010 by Anne Elizabeth Maczulak
"Comprising an eight-volume set, 'Green Technology' delves into the intricate interplay between human activities and their potentially detrimental impacts on the environment while exploring innovative strategies for ecological restoration. This series takes a comprehensive look at the environmental challenges confronting society through a technological lens, offering a balanced perspective on the debates surrounding these issues. Created to complement science curricula, the collection also encompasses relevant historical context and cutting-edge green technologies, shedding light on future developments within the field. Specifically, 'Renewable Energy: Sources and Methods,' one volume in this series, scrutinizes contemporary renewable energy technologies—a topic of utmost importance in a world witnessing an annual increase in energy consumption ranging from 1 to 3 percent. Recognizing the implications of this escalating consumption rate, the book elucidates how conventional energy sources, such as coal, oil, and gas, impact economies on a global scale. It also spotlights the rich array of concepts and innovations in the realm of alternative energy sources. Throughout the text, sidebars, illustrations, and case studies bolster fundamental concepts and delve into pressing environmental concerns. Topics covered encompass a broad spectrum, including alternative transportation, biomass utilization, the biorefining industry, sustainable energy practices, waste-to-energy conversion, Earth's diverse energy reservoirs, green architectural design and construction, water conservation methods, and international energy initiatives. The volume is enriched with over 40 color photographs and line illustrations, five appendices, a glossary, an extensive list of print and online resources, and a detailed index. 'Green Technology' serves as a valuable resource for high school students, educators, and the general readership keen on understanding the critical environmental issues impacting the planet."
