Description
Energy is a critical component of every dimension of human society. It is an essential input for economic development, transportation, and agriculture, and it plays an enormous role in environmental problems and solutions, in national security issues, and in science and technology policy. The course discusses the technological, economic, and policy dimensions of the energy choices needed to meet economic and environmental goals in both the near and long term. Energy-supply, end use–efficiency options, climate change impacts, and strategic energy policies will all be covered. The primary focus of the course will be international, but there will be some discussion of U.S. domestic programs and policies.
