The class will take an evidence-based look at energy, using Professor Michael Wysession’s DVD lectures from the Teaching Company aimed at a general audience and discussing in detail the pros and cons of energy resources from coal to solar.

Each two hour session of this study group for those 50 and above will include two 30-minute lectures per class, each followed by 20 minutes for questions and discussion.

Instructor Dick Chase, who worked 27 years as a research physicist for Ford and taught physics at several levels, will lead this study group on Thursdays from September 14 through December 14 (except on September 21 and Thanksgiving).
