Now, where did we leave off last time? Oh, right, alternative energy sources. I touched briefly on the potential that solar technologies have to offer. But there are a number of other alternatives to the currently fossil fuel driven system we use.

Things I Learned This Semester #15 - 21: Energy Edition Part I
And now, as promised, it's time for some very "non-avian content". This semester I took a course on the physics of energy, and the science behind the technologies that power our every day lives. Natural history may be where my heart lies. But life isn't all trees, birds, and fossils. So recently I've been interested in learning more about other aspects of the world we live in, and how our actions as a species impact it. Energy use is one of the big ones. Where do we get our energy from? What impact is that having on the rest of the world? Is there anything we can do about it? These are big questions. And there are no simple answers. But I learned a few things this semester that, if nothing else, have made me a more informed decision maker when it comes to my energy use, and the politics and science behind it. I thought I'd share a few of those things with you all.
