About the Book

With nearly all of the world's energy consumption dependent on non-renewable resources,Powering Our Future challenges consumers to support changes that will create sustainable energy in the future.

The four biggest energy sources-oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium-currently power our earth. What would happen to global societies if we experienced severe shortages of one or more of these resources? Such a glimpse into the future may become reality sooner than we think. Oil production is soon expected to begin a rapid descent, with natural gas in close pursuit. Powering Our Future is an educational tool that opens the door to a future fueled by sustainable, renewable energy. Consumers will learn:


  • How our world has become dependent on four nonrenewable resources.
  • How each resource impacts us politically, economically, and environmentally.
  • How renewable resources such as hydrogen, wind power, solar energy, biofuels, and more are waiting in the wings.
  • How the transition to a sustainable future will take place, offering economically stable and environmentally safe choices.
Powering Our Future is a solution-oriented guide that will empower you to make more informed choices as a voter, a contributor to a global economy, and a citizen of the earth.
