Energy Basics
Energy basics - virtually everything everyone should know about energy and why we need it. Let's try to keep these basics in perspective.

Energy is close to the root of theoretical and applied:
- physical sciences (e.g., electricity, materials research),
- life sciences (e.g., genome and bioscience research),
- engineering (e.g., power for the future, transportation),
- economics (e.g., consumer prices, dependence on foreign oil),
- and local/global politics (e.g., governance given the changing prices of gasoline, a finite energy supply, and nuclear weapons).
- Energy and recycling are closely linked.
