Dr. Richard Alley, Keynote, Learning While Burning: Options for Our Energy Future

11:00 AM

Our energy system is unsustainable; relying on burning fossil fuels roughly a million times faster than nature put them away for us.  If we burn the fossil fuels, and then learn new options, we will have changed the atmosphere and climate in ways that make life much harder for most people, and many other species.  However, great options are available for sustainable energy.  History shows that we have made huge changes in our energy system in the past, relying heavily on something, using it until problems arose, and then switching.  Options for doing so again, with their advantages and disadvantages, will be discussed.
