ENVS 322 - Energy and SocietySemester Offered: Second Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4SS Energy issues are often characterized as problems we can 'supply' our way out of by changing the resources we rely on. Less frequently, energy issues are treated as a problem of consumption.

The first part of this course explores physical, political, and economic aspects of energy supply through the examination of different energy sources (biomass, fossil fuels, electricity, renewables, nuclear). The second part of the course addresses social and political aspects of energy consumption in the industrial, commercial, residential and transportation sectors. Enrollment Limit: 20 Instructor: S. Knuth Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: ENVS 101. |
