Course Objectives:	In a global perspective, energy policies serve multiple goals, including those of; (a) meeting increasing energy demand, driven in large part by growing populations and rising incomes, (b) satisfying basic needs of about billions of people who suffer badly from inadequate access to usable energy, and (c) responding to the increasing risk of severe environmental damage caused by prevailing patterns of energy production, distribution and consumption.
