February Focus on Energy
February 1, 2010 · by Lorin Hancock
This month NAP is focusing on energy. Energy is a topic at the forefront of policy, the economy, and national security. Campaigns to “green” our way of life are everywhere you look. And by February, many of us have already encountered that shocking first heating bill of the season.
The National Academies Press has an abundance of resources–many of them free–to help you understand where our energy comes from; the advantages and disadvantages of various energy sources; our motivation to alter energy supply and consumption habits; and analysis of energy options for the future.
To kick things off, here is an energy primer, available for free in all formats: PDF, HTML, or printed copies for classroom use.
