U.S. ENERGY (MODEL 2): UPDATED 04/02/09 (educational program)

WINDOWS (1024x768 RESOLUTION or higher):

MAC VERSION (OS-X needs the Classic Environment) (1024x768 RESOLUTION or higher)

This is a simplified version of the model-1 simulator still available (see below). In the new version, the initial Scenario setup has been simplified, the actual play of the simulation has been simplified, and there is an option to increase the time increment to 5-years and thus permit completion of the simulation in about 1/5 the normal time. All data have been updated. This version does not contain the animated tutorials, but these can be accessed by downloading the Animated Chalkboard--Energy package. Recent updates provide a more realistic time-line for new energy technology growth.

The primary goal for the student is to maintain a standard of living close to that at the start of the simulation. While the living standard takes into account both increasing efficiency and conservation initiatives, dwindling reserves makes the process difficult.

REQUIREMENTS: Win 95/98/ME/NT4.x/2000/XP, a Pentium level processor (300 MHz or faster is recommended), a video card displaying at 1024x768 screen resolution and in high-color (15-16 bit) or true-color (24-32 bit) color depths. Memory requirements: 128 Megs are recommended. Mac requirements are similar--OS 9 or above is recommended.
