What can we do to prevent electricity and gas prices from rising?
I think that one solution is to increase energy self-sufficiency by reducing as much as possible the amount of energy produced abroad whose prices fluctuate due to external factors such as foreign exchange rates and wars.
Although there is little fossil energy such as gas and coal, there is an abundance of environment-friendly, sustainable renewable energy such as wind power, solar power, hydroelectric power, and geothermal power.
It would be great if we could reduce the enormous cost of purchasing energy produced abroad by increasing the amount of renewable energy produced domestically and prevent global warming by decarbonizing energy.
This book uses illustrations to explain the present and future of renewable energy such as wind power, solar power, hydroelectric power, and geothermal power in an easy-to-understand way so that junior high school students can understand the problems.
It also covers everything from the mechanisms of power generation to the behind-the-scenes situation that hinders development : the situation of adults.
I hope you will read this book if you are concerned about or interested in the renewable energy you hear about every day.
