Energy Environment 
 and the Economy

   

This web site is being developed to support a university level  multidisciplinary course called Energy Environment and the  Economy with special emphasis on promoting sustainable energy  in small islands. The design of the site divides this complex, multidisciplinary  subject into a large number of pages with an overview or outline of a sub topic with a number of links to other pages or sites with more detailed information. Thus the site should also be useful for training and education at other levels, public awareness and  those responsible for making policies and decisions to build sustainable energy futures for islands.  

The site provides some basic information resources on 

                        Sources of energy such as fossil fuels and conversion of
                        energy from one form to another such as photovoltaics
                        Storage and Transmission of Energy
                        End Uses and Conservation
                        Environmental Impacts
                        Economic Implications and analysis

The  site also provides other materials such as assignments, tests  and instructions for students to assist them with their web projects.

 A list of all the student  web projects with links to view each project  is also provided. 

Finally, the site provides an extensive  webliography of  sustainable  energy projects relevant to small islands.  

The buttons on the navigation bar on the left show the other pages on the same  level of the site while the navigation bar at the bottom of the page shows the pages on the level immediately above. The annotated links in the main body of the page show the pages one level below (the children of the current page)
