Global Warming, Plentiful Oil, and the Failure of Bio-Alternatives: What To Do?
As part of its Change Climate Policy series, the Center for Public Policy and Administration (CPPA) presents guest lecturer Tom O'Donnell (2008 U.S. Fulbright Scholar, Venezuela) and his talk "Global Warming, Plentiful Oil, and the Failure of Bio-Alternatives: What To Do?"
Tom O'Donnell (PhD, University of Michigan) is a nuclear physicist whose current work examines the political economy of Venezuelan oil as a basis for understanding the internal and external policies of the new Venezuelan Bolivarian state. More generally, his work examines U.S. geo-strategy as it relates to the globalized oil system here and abroad. Dr. O'Donnell has worked as a union organizer and will be a Visiting Fellow at the New School for Social Research in 2009.
