Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects
In the book, "Solar Power", it has some very great information about the history of solar energy, how it was developed, how to change sunlight into energy, how it benefits rich nations, how people will start using solar energy, solar hydrogen and solar water heaters, and many more informational items. My favorite part of the book was Chapter 1: Part 3, when they talked about how scientists discovered how to change sunlight into energy. Another one of my favorites was Chapter 3: Part 1, when they talked about why solar energy will become more common in american households. I suggest reading this book if you want to learn everything or almost anything about solar energy.
