Required Books for Introduction to Energy Policy, Y45.2400, Spring 2008
New York University, Professor Chris Gadomski

This course surveys the social, technological, economic, environmental and political factors of energy policy on an international scale. The course will focus on identifying the most pressing drivers of energy policy issues: economics, security, and the environment.

I have not orderd these books through the NYU bookstore as they are generally cheaper on Amazon.
