Lecture Description
A look at the resources available in the U.S., efforts to mine those resources up until now, siting issues, environmental challenges, transmission needs, and technological advances.
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.
