Title: |
Energy: Primary sources and ecological use (Spanish) |
|
Review: |
The principal concern expressed in this book is that energy is present everywhere and is necessary for all human activities, that without energy couldn´t even exist life and mankind couldn´t evolve.
Through history, the man have despised different ways to obtain energy, depending almost exclusive of non-sustainable sources like the coal and the oil, each day smallers in their reserves.
It is clear that there is the possibility to use sustainable energy to provide comfort to humankind and give the next generations higher living standard without using fossil fuels or nuclear energy, contribuiting to the preservation of the energetic resources of the planet.
A rational application of available resources is necessary in order to get primary needs satisfied to reach common benefits and social well-being. To promote consciousness on the consequences of energy waste and the use of alternative energy sources, actually unexploited.
It is an effort to create a better world and sustainable development for next generations.
