<br/><br/> The ideas presented in this text are a product of a personal and professional interest. Like many individuals, I have been intrigued and concerned with the dramatic changes in the prices and uses of energy during the past decade. As I looked for answers to the many questions posed by the energy  "crisis," I found it necessary to go beyond the more popular literature on the subject to a systematic investigation of the underlying economic and technical factors that shape energy decisions. When I extended that interest to the classroom, it seemed only natural that I should organize these ideas into a more structured form. Though the literature on energy has continued to grow at a dramatic rate, I hope that the concepts put forth here can at least serve as an introduction to the subject for both student and professional readers.
