Responding to Global Warming - Class schedule

After our discussion in class 1 today, I have decided to use the priorities arrived at by voting on the various topics to govern the amount of time spent on each topic, and to try to cover more than 6 topics. On this basis, following is the agenda for the remaining 3 classes.

Feb 6 – Solar Photovoltaic (PV), Solar Thermal and Geothermal. Solar thermal is also known as Concentrated Solar Power (CSP).

Feb 13 – Wind, Waves, Tide, OTEC and Ocean Clouds. In other words, this class will focus on the ocean.

Feb 20 – Presidents Day, NO class.

Feb 27 – Nuclear Fission, Nuclear Fusion, Biofuels and Forest preservation (see REDD). 

Mar 5 - NO Class
