趙明學、楊曉華、周英莉編著的《能源英語(1普
通高等教育規劃教材)》分為傳統能源和新能源兩部
分。傳統能源部分介紹了煤、石油、天然氣、水能和
核能。傳統能源的大規模工業化利用歷史較長，開采
、加工、運輸、儲存和利用技術成熟。但傳統能源中
除水能外均是不可再生的，其中煤和石油已帶來嚴重
的環境污染。新能源部分介紹了太陽能、風能、生物
能、地熱能、海洋能和氫能。傳統能源帶來的能源危
機和環境破壞使新能源備受關注，雖然在全球能源供
給總量中的比例很小，但發展迅速度，尤其是太陽能
和風能。
編寫此書是為了讓學習者了解能源、關注能源、
正確看待能源問題，在建立能源知識構架、掌握相關
英語表達的同時，形成節能意識，愛護我們賴以生存
的地球。
