our energy future
A week thought through collection of different aspects regarding our energy future.
you must take this course if you want to know basicly about energy past, present, future Excellent, in-depth overview of today's challenges for Our Energy Future For every person with social responsibility.
I am very thankful to the instructors as they allowed me to learn some great things about OUR ENERGY FUTURE Good overview of some of the efforts made towards alternative energies as well as the trends and status of the current energy industry.
Its a good place to begin with A very detailed analysis of the present scenario of energy and also what our energy future will be like.

sources of energy
It was good to review the well known energy sources like nuclear, hydro, fracking, corn ethanol, etc, but I would say most people are unaware of all these alternative sources of energy such as from various plants, algae to make bio-fuels or electricity.
Pragmatic, with much data on the future sources of energy that I hope will replace fossil fuels... very impressive Good course, but would love an updated version.
Content is well crafted and I have learn about both renewable and non renewable sources of energy in quite depth.

insight into
awesome course Wow such an amazing insight into the subject.
excellent course, learned a lot It gives great insight into biofuel production, but also how other renewable energies work, and the necessity of them coming together to cope with global energy demand :) Not Realy related to energy, mostly Bio fuel Excellent course!!!.

too much
Excelente, una visión holística que vale la pena conocer Great course, giving students a good understanding of the current and future energy issues Course is very tough and seeks too much of time.
too much chemistry instead of physics and explanation how are things working.
Very good course to give an overview over the most important bullet pointsSome subjects were tackled in too much detail, such as the close description of biological and chemical processes Very sick course.

fossil fuels
Very interesting course with a lot of information on the renewable energies of the moment, its operation, numbers on it and advantages and disadvantages, also a lot of information about fossil fuels, in short an energetic vision of the moment.
The course certainly conveys the ominous threat that climate change and energy/sustainability pose to future human and economic development the approach that give about energy consumption is completely reasonable , overcomes in certainly the classic point of view about fossil fuels, we need that our generation take this side to innovate for rearrange the use of energy and supporting the wise use of fossil fuels Good Immensely informative and interesting at the same time !
years old
The Paris Agreement wasn't mentioned, some of the research is from the early 2000s, many of the lectures are at least 3 years old.
The class was also strangely designed and executed: the amount of content per week varied significantly; the vast majority of the content was in a very specific energy sector (biofuels) and other key sectors were almost entirely overlooked; it also seems like the content is already a few years old.

followed by
Fortunately each lecture is followed by a Q&A from Dr Murphy who seems to be the only one to replace the topics in the general context.
The course is organised very wisely, divided into topics and followed by tests.

renewable energies
Good A very interesting course that really does explain all the renewable energies in great detail and what effect our civilisation is having on the planet.
their field
Covering the poor and rich countries and diferents technicals skills to develop new and innovation s This is a great course on energy technologies, with quite in-depth lectures on the technologies, current research, future prospect and delivered by experts in their field of study.
I'd recommend this course to anyone interested to know the current and future energy and renewable technologies, or aspiring researchers to explore and zoom in their field of interest.
