Fuelling the Future is an expository text with extensive photographic support. Three chapters explore non-renewable energy, renewable energy, and green choices. Many specific examples are used to illustrate ideas about energy, such as the story of the 1992 methane gas explosion that caused the deaths of twenty-six coal miners at the Westray Mine in Nova Scotia. Questions such as “Which source of renewable energy is the most widely used where you live? Why?” spark deeper thinking. A concluding page provides ways for students to reflect on and extend their engagement with the topic.
