Energy issues affect every aspect of the world, from a global to a personal scale. People want information for a complete and balanced story, but these issues are emotionally and politically charged. A [[who we are|team of scientists]] from the University of Calgary are putting together this ever-expanding resource to discuss every aspect of [[energy]] as objectively as possible.

These topics include everything from smaller-scale issues like [[improving fuel efficiency]] to large-scale questions like [[access to electricity]] and [[access to non-solid fuel|non-solid fuels]] around the world.
There's also a fair amount of fundamental science like what [[electricity]] is, and where that energy comes from (check out [[fuel]]s and [[flow]]s). This resource discusses physics concepts like [[energy vs power]], [[kinetic energy]], and [[friction]].
