| In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto with Michael Pollan |
|
Monday, Nov. 23 |
3:00 AM |
| "Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly
plants." These words to live by from the award-winning author Michael
Pollan resonate at the heart of his newest work, In Defense of Food: An
Eater's Manifesto. He considers what science does and does not know about
diet and health, proposing a new way of thinking about food that is informed
by ecology and tradition. Pollan is Knight Professor of Journalism at UC
Berkeley. |

several strategies are discussed including a smart grid that could give
customers options by letting them choose energy control options not currently
available. Igor Mezic, Jack Sahl and Jeffrey Reed explore smart design for

| Production and Storage: Toward a More
Efficient Use of Renewable Energy Sources |
|
Monday, Nov. 23 |
2:00 PM |
| Renewable energy. In one hour we get
enough sunlight on the earth to power the planet for a year. The molecular
design of new materials for efficient harvesting of photons from the sun is
promising. But storing that energy requires the next generation of batteries:
sustainable, safe, and high-energy. Alan Heeger, Lon Bell and Jean-Marie
Tarason explore new ways to meet our energy needs. |

| Commercializing Advances in Energy
Efficiency |
|
Mon, Dec. 07 |
1:00 PM |
| Achieving energy efficiency will require
more efficient buildings, replacing lighting with LED lights, installing
web-based control of load, storing electricity during off-peak periods, and
educating people to appreciate energy efficiency. J. Michael McQuade, PK
Kapadia and Nancy Jenkins explore the changes needed to yield large energy
savings. |

| The Roles of Energy Efficiency and
Distributed Photovoltaic |
|
Tue, Dec. 01 |
6:30 PM |
| Selling energy efficiency is difficult
since it is something that does not physically exist and cannot completely
be measured. Sunpower's Richard Swanson explores how energy efficiency and
solar
photovoltaic (PV) systems balance each other out by reducing demand for
electricity, while at the same time providing the energy that is needed and
sustainable. |

| Taking the Universe's Baby Picture: An
Evening with Professor David Spergel |
|
Mon, Dec. 14 |
2:00 PM |
| Cosmology is in a golden age with advances
in technology enabling us to probe the physics of the very early universe.
Princeton's David Spregel explains that observations of the microwave
background are snapshots of the Universe only three hundred thousand years
after the Big Bang. These observations have answered many of the questions
that have driven cosmology for the past few decades - but many remain
unanswered. Find out what we know and what we hope to learn. |

| Climate Change and Environmental
Governance: A Pastiche of Policy |
|
Mon, Dec. 28 |
1:00 PM |
Thomas Lyon, Director of Erb Institute for
Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan, describes
climate change as the ultimate collective-action problem. In the absence of a
satisfactory global regulatory structure, hundreds of local and regional
climate initiatives have sprung up, some voluntary and some mandatory.
Professor Lyon examines this chaotic process and assesses what it implies for
environmental governance.

| Cap 2.0: Defining Climate Legislation that
Ensures Sustainable Low-carbon Growth |
|
Mon, Dec. 21 |
1:00 PM |
| Richard Duke of the Natural Resources
Defense Council argues that America and the world have reached a crucial
juncture on climate change and in order to avoid the most catastrophic
consequences of global warming greenhouse gas pollution must be reduced significantly.
He describes Cap 2.0, legislation that caps global warming pollution, as a
way to curb greenhouse gasses while improving infrastructure and spurring
innovation. |
