Lecture Description
Efforts to promote solar water heating, photovoltaic electric generation, passive solar design. Discussion of light easements, building standards, and house value reassessments.
Course Description
This course introduces students to the legal, economic, and structural issues that both shape our energy practices and provide opportunities to overcome these critical problems. The course focuses primarily on the regulation and design of electricity systems and markets, since so many energy choices-the use of oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, the green alternatives such as solar, wind, and energy conservation or demand side management- relate to the way we generate or deliver electricity, or avoid the need to do so.
