Energy is the lifeblood of modern industrial society. Its uses are increasing. The total dependency of the western world, and especially of the United States, on external sources is also increasing, as are the economic, political, environmental, and military consequences.
We will discuss sources, costs, potentials for development, and environmental effects of the several forms of energy.
It's intended that there will be only sufficient lecturing to establish a basis for active discussion.
Class is limited to 20 participants.
