ENV 2116 - Energy and the EnvironmentCredits: 4 Consumption of energy resources maintains and advances civilizations. Working from basic physical concepts and models of depletion and growth, we’ll learn how the human race exploits available renewable and non-renewable resources. We will also compare the relative advantages and disadvantages of various means of energy extraction, generation, and distribution associated with such energy sources as fossil fuels, solar, biomass, and nuclear. Finally, understanding energy also means considering environmental impacts. To this end, we’ll explore how energy extraction and consumption impact our Earth’s biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. McDaniel Plan: Scientific Inquiry.
