Brief Introduction
ENERGY & ELECTRICITY, FOSSIL FUELS (OIL, GAS, COAL), CONSERVATION & EFFICIENCY, RENEWABLES: SOLAR, BIOMASS & BIOFUELSDescription
Think someone should do something to save our planet from Climate Change?
Take this Easy-to-understand STEP-BY-STEP course on Renewable Energy and Climate Change, if you want to help. Even the smallest things YOU DO can SAVE our planet!
But first, let's start with a ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fun Fact: Did you know ... the world is covered by around 70% water. But only around 2.5% is fresh, drinkable water (NatGeo).
and now a...
Scary Fact: Did you know ... that animals (mostly COWS) contribute to global warming?!! Yeah, around 20% of all world's greenhouse gas emissions (methane) is BELCHED by 1.5 billion COWS! Just to bring meat to your dinner table. Over 40% of the farmland in the USA is used for grazing cattle.
Fun Fact: Did you know ... that the Earth receives more energy from the sun in a single hour than the world uses in an ENTIRE year. Currently, we capture only 1% of the sun's energy to produce electricity
and now a...
Scary Fact: Because the world's oceans absorb about 30% of the CO2 that humans spew out, the oceans are now much more acidic. Together with a warmer ocean temperature has resulted in 50% of the world's Coral Reefs now EXTINCT, with the remaining living reefs expected to disappear in about 20-30 years!! Leaving behind green, slimy algae.

The Earth is in a CLIMATE CRISIS, and needs you. Yes, YOU!!
I have TWO courses on Udemy related to Renewable Energy and Climate Change.
This FIRST course that you've landed upon is this one: Renewable Energy and Climate Change - Lite.
With 11 lectures, I'll walk you through each lecture in a series of videos.
This course provides a quick overview of:
Climate Change and the Environment
What is Energy & Electricty?
Fossil Fuels and How they are formed
Fossil Fuels and the environmental costs
Energy Efficiency and Conservation
New Renewables
Biomass and Biofuels (innovative "Jatropha" and algae-derived oils)
Introduction to Power
a little Math
Solar power (PV and solar thermal)
The SECOND course is a JAM-PACKED, comprehensive course and covers the following Renewable Energy topics with 30 Lectures and 113 minutes of video:
Energy and Electricity
Climate Change and the Environment
Fossil Fuels
Coal
Natural Gas
Crude Oil
Alternative Fossil Fuels & Synfuels
The environmental costs of using Fossil Fuels
Energy Conservation & Renewables
Renewable Energy Technologies, including:
Biomass and Biofuels (innovative "Jatropha" and "algae-derived" oils)
Solar power (PV and solar thermal)
Wind power (horizontal axis, vertical axis, offshore, 'Turbines Integrated into Buildings')
Fuel Cells
Hydroelectric power
Geothermal Energy
Wave power
Tidal Power
Ocean thermal energy
In both courses, you will have a unique and thorough understanding of the basics, terminology, concepts, and technologies to be proud of.
Plus you'll receive a Certificate of Completion too!
Take this course because you want to:
SAVE our PLANET Earth! and
learn about Climate Change and the environment (so what's all the fuss?) Or
learn about fossil fuels (what's that all about) Or
Live or Work OFF-THE-GRID (you want a sustainable family, life and business) Or
make an investment in YOURSELF and Jumpstart Your CAREER with a Certificate of Completion for:
a 'GREEN' Job Or
college/university admission Or
learn more as a professional whose already in the renewable energy industry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After taking this course you will know where oil comes from, what coal is, what CO2 and Methane are and how they contribute to our warming climate.
You will have a unique and thorough understanding of the basics, terminology, concepts, and technologies to be proud of. Plus you'll receive a Certificate of Completion too.
