- W53836617 abstract "The greatest need today, beside the research into alternate energy sources, is public education. If the general public would understand the alternatives we might be able to alleviate the level of scepticism. A Community College is in an ideal position to educate a wide range of the public. Our students come from a wide spectrum of the social-economic strata. Most of them live home, which means that hopefully they will discuss at home what they learned from the college community. Since Nassau Community College has an 8 credit science requirement for graduation, we introduced a 4 credit course which deals with the environmental effects of alternate energy sources. It is a laboratory science course, 3 lecture hours and 3 lab hours per week. Our class size is relatively small (max. 27.5 students) which lends itself to class discussion on the prevailing issues. The importance and urgency of the search for alternatives for fossil fuel is obvious to the scientific community. The general public is very sceptical about the reality of the fuel shortage. The origin of this scepticism might be the result of distrust of government and big business, but the result of the scepticism is that there is nomore » real public support for the search for alternatives. The popular press is not much of a help, often the only alternative to fossil fuels which is considered is nuclear power which has the ability to polarize even the most cohesive groups. One often reads about that this or that alternate energy resource is unlimited, free, nonpolluting, etc., etc. We know that in reality there is no such thing as an energy resource which has all the good qualities and no drawbacks. The classes are also taken to field trips to a power station, cogenerating facilities, etc.« less" @default.
