Think you can solve the energy problem? You'll first need to know about current energy use. Analyzing a set of circle graphs lets scholars see where energy consumption is the greatest, both by sector and by household use. They develop a set of concepts that will guide their thinking for the rest of the unit. This is the first installment of a 25-part Energy Systems and Solutions unit.
