We will look at energy from a science and technical standpoint to understand the origins of energy resources, and we will discuss environmental, political, and economic issues arising from their use and distribution. A significant portion of the course will cover aspects of the oil and gas industry, from its history to its present state. We will also review nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewable forms of energy.
