Energy is essential for both national and economic security, underpinning all aspects of life. Yet discussions of energy security often exclude the public, reducing complex issues to simplistic narratives like “Green is Good” or “Oil is Evil,” which provide little actionable insight. In this course, you will engage in a comprehensive examination of energy’s role in human development. Topics include the unmatched importance of hydrocarbons (oil and more); advancements in electricity; the past, present and future of nuclear energy; and the potential of renewables. We will explore how these energy sources impact national security, economic stability, industrial production, transportation and daily life. Join this course for a balanced, realistic assessment of energy security, a vital issue of our time. Course enrollment is limited to 13 participants. This class is not recorded.
