It examines how energy is used to transform natural resources into economic goods and analyzes the economic implications of fluctuating energy costs. It applies the concept of Energy Return on Investment to measure economic effect of rising energy cost and to evaluate alternatives. It also covers the characteristics of alternative energy sources, environmental effects of energy extraction and use, and management of energy resources.
