Initially launched in 2012, the course provides a big picture perspective on energy systems, resources, economics, policy, and technology fundamentals to a general audience. To date, more than 14,000 learners have accessed its content, with more than 1,000 completing the entire 40 \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENew material will be produced with a specific focus on the Southeast Region in terms of the current and future energy resource mix with a particular focus on the region\u0026rsquo;s resource diversity, as well as regional CO2 and emissions trends. Demand characteristics of the region\u0026rsquo;s energy sector will also be included, and touch on major demand sectors (including electricity consumption and transportation). Additional content will introduce the socio-environmental impacts of using various forms of energy and estimated social costs of energy externalities, a review of benefits\/costs\/risks associated with the region\u0026rsquo;s energy options, efficiency considerations, and the region\u0026rsquo;s outlook for long-term energy planning.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EScope, objectives and key elements.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EThe deliverables include a series of web-based video seminars, supporting resources and regional energy awareness outreach campaigns.
