Our world is fundamentally dependent on energy flows, yet the fuels and sources that have sustained us for the last century all seem to be showing tight limits or tragic flaws. This course explores the emerging field of renewable and alternative energy supplies. It reviews local, state, and federal laws and policies that promote or impede the use of these options, and considers emerging distributed
generation models. Turning to specific fuel choices, it surveys the range of emerging technologies and looks in depth at some specific models of high potential or value, concluding with consideration of proposed strategies for reducing greenhouse gasses.
