Energy Analysis and Policy
Greg Nemet, Professor for La Follette School of Public Affairs and Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies

 

In this course, students will develop an understanding of the dynamics of the global energy system, focusing on ways that public policy can affect these changes in socially beneficial directions. The perspective taken is that of a policy maker confronting decisions about the design and implementation of energy policy. Topics to be covered will span the full life cycle of energy production and use, including: material extraction, energy conversion, power generation, energy transportation, end use, and environmental impacts.
