Talk: The Energy Story
You've heard of sustainability, but how did life become so
UN-sustainable anyway? What's the connection between energy, society, and current world events? What is peak oil? And what on Earth do oil, debt, and perpetual growth have to do with one another? Come engage yourself in a whirlwind tour that connects history, ecology, population, thermodynamics, economics, geopolitics, banking, war, sustainability, and your future. The Energy Story is a fast-paced, provocative, and engaging talk that will transform your understanding of the most vital issues of our times.
Presented by Kai Wu, a graduate student at UMass Amherst studying renewable energy systems and energy economics.
