World Wide Web Links

     The following links are provided to Websites related to current events, energy issues and the physics of  energy. This is a brief introduction to the abundance of information now accessible on the WWW. 

     The WWW has been described not only as a source of information, but also as a source of misinformation.  Travel this super highway with caution! You
must develop your own sense of critical evaluation as to the nature of the information you find by considering such criteria as:  the nature and reputation of the
source, whether the report is based on scientific investigation or rumor, and whether the primary intention of the source is to disseminate information responsibly or
to advertise a product.

Have a nice trip on this highway of discovery. Please let me know by e-mail if any of these links has expired or if you discover new or even better sources
that we can share with the rest of the class
