ENV 5368 - Our Energy Futures

This course provides a strong foundation for students interested in contemporary energy issues and our transition to decarbonized energy systems. A primary focus of the course is today’s energy transition, which is playing out amid deep concerns about climate change, well-funded efforts to protect fossil fuel capital investments, and expanding demands for electricity. It also is occurring across multiple geographical fronts, as seen in changing spatial patterns and distribution of energy-related activities, the processes underlying those patterns, and the connections and interactions across space.
