Everyone understands the convenience of flipping on a light switch, but it is the rare person who considers how this convenience is produced and what is left behind after energy is created. From the coal mines to the power lines, this online course will take you behind the scenes of the coal-based energy industry.
Developed in conjunction with the University of North Dakota's Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), the course will explore:
- how coal was formed
- how a coal-based power plant works
- what happens to the by-products that remain when coal is burned to produce electricity
You will be introduced to alternative energy options and learn how to incorporate energy-efficient living into your own home. In addition, you will receive valuable links and informational sites you can use in your classroom.
