This volume focuses on a few renewable energy sources, viz. wind energy, energy from water movement, and natural temperature differences, which in principle could provide enormous energy resources. Energy from wind has been a rapidly growing source of energy, as wind turbines have grown in size and, especially, as wind turbines have moved offshore. Hydroelectric dams have continued to be used as energy sources, particularly in developing countries. Other energy sources using water, including waves and tidal sources, are also discussed in this volume. Finally, the volume discusses differences between deep and surface ocean temperatures, as well as the extraction of energy from the Earth's extremely large energy resource of magma deep below the surface. These latter two energy resources, in particular, require further development, and the current book describes the latest advances coupled with pointing

Possible paths forward.
