Websites, Powerpoints and Videos for Children
These resources, based mostly in the USA, have been copied from a Yahoo Energy Resources Group posting, with the comments: "The emphasis is undoubtedly on energy conservation rather than peak oil per se. I am familiar with the film 'Kilowatt Ours' (excellent) which promotes electrical energy conservation, tying it to coal mining and coal-fired power plants."
