Today in Energy History:
http://www.energy.ca.gov/m+pco/history.html
Have students click on a month of the year to view descriptions of important energy-related events that occurred during the month. Not every day of the month offers an event, but most dates do, and many of those events date back to the 1800s! High school teachers doing a unit on energy might challenge their students to do some energy history research of their own and to send to the site's Webmaster any new information they find for possible inclusion on the site. The California Energy Commission created Today in (Energy) History.
