0.25 CR
No one gives a second thought when they toast a slice of bread, turn on a light, or enjoy that steaming cup of coffee in the morning. All these activities, plus just about everything else we do on a daily basis use the energy of one form or another. Where does that energy come from, how was it produced, what byproducts were created during its production? This module will focus on the production of energy, different sources in common use, and how that energy is used.
