ENRG 549 - Energy Systems Transitions

This course explores the social and technological changes underway to transition from a fossil-fuel based energy system to a low-carbon system. We study the technology involved with existing and evolving electricity, transportation, food, and building energy systems and then interrogate the social, economic, and political structures that substantiate the existing system or promote change to a low carbon future. Also offered as ENVS 549.
