This series is designed to examine the economic, environmental and national security implications of our use of energy. The series looks at how we power our lights and computers with electricity; heat our homes and buildings with oil; and how we use energy in our transportation sector. While we used fossil fuels almost exclusively in the 20th century, the 21st century promises to introduce a number of other energy sources that will make our sources of energy more domestic and cleaner for the environment.
