How can we best power the planet? 

We need energy for many things, including lighting, cooking, transportation, heating & cooling… But which energy source is the best? What are the trade-offs of each?

Travel the globe with scholar Johan Norberg, from Morocco to Sweden and throughout the United States, as he explores the pros & cons of the eight main energy sources available to us: coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, biomass, wind, and solar. 

Power to the Planet covers numerous educational standards across several subject areas including Science and Social Studies for Grades 4-12.
