Energy technology is an interdisciplinary engineering science having to do with the efficient, safe, environmentally friendly and economical extraction, conversion, transportation, storage and use of energy, targeted towards yielding high efficiency whilst skirting side effects on humans, nature and the environment. For people, energy is an overwhelming need and as a scarce resource it has been an underlying cause of political conflicts and wars. The gathering and use of energy resources can be harmful to local ecosystems and may have global outcomes. ==Interdisciplinary fields== As an interdisciplinary science Energy technology is linked with many interdisciplinary fields in sundry, overlapping ways. * Physics, for thermodynamics and nuclear physics * Chemistry for fuel, combustion, air pollution, flue gas, battery technology and fuel cells. * Electrical engineering * Engineering, often for fluid energy machines such as combustion engines, turbines, pumps and compressors. * Geography, for geothermal energy and exploration for resources. * Mining, for petrochemical and fossil fuels. * Agriculture and forestry, for sources of renewable energy. * Meteorology for wind and solar energy. * Water and Waterways, for hydropower. * Waste management, for environmental impact. * Transportation, for energy-saving transportation systems. * Environmental studies, for studying the effect of energy use and production on the environment, nature and climate change. * (Lighting Technology), for Interior and Exterior Natural as well as Artificial Lighting Design, Installations, and Energy Savings * (Energy Cost/Benefit Analysis), for Simple Payback and Life Cycle Costing of Energy Efficiency/Conservation Measures Recommended 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Energy technology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
