The course will deal with the chemistry and technology of energy utilization, water purification and sewage treatment, and the handling of liquid and solid wastes; if time allows, a variety of household consumer products will be discussed. The approach will be that of a chemist but broadly construed. Particular consideration will be given to energy-delivery systems, not only those using fossil and nuclear fuels, but also those based on alternative energy sources, some of which will undoubtedly be utilized on a large scale in the future. An important concern throughout the course will be society's total cost for energy, including environmental damage, as opposed to the nominal prices actually paid by end-users. A previous secondary-school course in chemistry is strongly recommended.
