It has become the accepted wisdom amongst governments and opinion leaders despite the consequent price rises and disasters that have followed in its wake: the series of blackouts that have been experienced from Buenos Aires to Auckland; the government bailouts of electricity companies that have been necessary in California and Britain; the need for electricity rationing in Brazil; and the fact that it has become too expensive for millions of people from India to South Africa.

The package will be designed to teach students about the social and political dimensions of environmental issues. It will contain resource materials that can be used by the lecturer in a large theatre, including video clips, sound recordings and overhead projection slides. This material will then be available to students who will be able to revise lecture material in their own time, explore aspects of it in more depth, and interactively access references, information and primary material to help them with assignments. The package will be designed to be used by students individually and in small groups.
