Our Favorite External Resources

Information for the Stanford Understand Energy course lectures comes from a wide variety of sources. Each has its own perspective, motivation, methodology, definitions, units, and necessary caveats. Getting accurate data is often quite difficult. It’s important to check the fine print and notes to know what assumptions were made. We cite our data sources to the greatest extent possible.

The resources below are some of our favorites. Many of them have a US focus. We think you will find them helpful for exploring energy topics beyond what you find here on our website.
