Feature Video
From fossil fuels to wind power, there are several options in our current mix of energy resources. The benefits and drawbacks of each fuel must be considered, and issues surrounding consumption, efficiency, infrastructure, and environmental consequences must be resolved in order to meet our future energy needs. This program examines the possibilities, surveys the experts, and presents thoughtful questions to challenge your students.

The 30-minute feature video gives the big picture, increases awareness, and facilitates discussion with thought-provoking issues and expert interviews. Activate English captions in the Subtitles menu to enhance student vocabulary development and acquisition, reading and listening comprehension, word recognition, knowledge base expansion, reading confidence, and reading fluency.
