The Engineering Challenges of Renewable Energy: Crash Course Engineering #30

This week we are looking at renewable energy sources and why we need them. We’ll explore hydropower, wind, geothermal, and solar power, as well as some of the challenges, and how engineers are working to make their use more widespread.

Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios.
