Courses Taught: 
  • ENVS 632 Energy and the Environment in the U.S.

This is a survey course that will examine the current U.S. energy industry, from production to consumption, and its impacts on local, regional, and the global environment. The course will seek to provide a fuller understanding of existing energy systems, ranging from technical overviews of each, to an exploration of the well-established policy framework each operates within. Near-term demands upon each energy supply system will be discussed, with particular focus on environmental constraints. Policy options facing each energy industry will be reviewed. By semester's end, successful students will have developed an intellectual framework to understand the challenges facing the U.S. energy system.
