About energy resources and security notes
GoConqr OriginalUsing Energy Resources and Security notes
Start with Energy Security for an introduction to renewable and non-renewable sources. Then use Changes in Energy Consumption to look at factors such as availability and affordability. These notes offer a starting point before you move to more focused examples.
Energy Case Studies compares energy poverty in India and the UK. Other notes cover oil sands in Alberta and bioethanol. For a different angle, Impacts of Energy Security discusses imports and fuel exports, while National strategies for saving energy describes a UK carbon plan.
From reading to practice
As you read, make a short summary of each example and connect it to a point about supply, consumption or security. Use Energy Security Exam Questions to practice planning an answer. If you want to check what you remember, switch to a quiz on the unit page; a mind map can help you organize the connections between topics.
Choose a note and make a summary in your own words.
Frequently asked questions
Which note is a useful place to start?
Energy Security is a useful starting point because it introduces renewable and non-renewable energy sources. After reading it, try Changes in Energy Consumption for factors that affect demand, or move to Energy Case Studies for a comparison of energy poverty in India and the UK.
Are these notes free to use?
