Talk: "From Think Tank to Gas Tank" with Michael Granoff
Journey into the future of energy with activist and entrepreneur Michael Granoff as he talks about opportunities for clean energy locally, nationally, and around the globe.
Granoff helped to found the highly regarded Washington-based advocacy group Securing America's Future Energy (SAFE). Driven by the concern for environmental well-being, as well as the geopolitical effects of dependency on foreign oil, SAFE is one of the leading groups reducing America's dependence on foreign oil.
As a seed investor with Israel Cleantech Ventures, Granoff brought together business leaders, government leaders, and environmentalists to create an infrastructure for the mass production of electric cars and electric re-charge stations throughout the State of Israel by 2011.
This event sponsored by UMass Student Alliance for Israel and co-sponsored by UMass Hillel, UMass Democrats, UMass Jewish Leaders in business, UMass MASSPIRG, and UMass Students for Environmental Awareness.
