The event was yesterday, and it went very well. It was very well attended, and it really seems to have gotten people interested in sustainable energy and climate change issues. One main objective for the event was to get publicity for the Focus on Climate Change Events that are taking place during the days, Tues - Thurs. Without a big publicity push, it is often hard to get people to come to smaller departmental events.
Today, I went to the talk by Leon Glicksman, who is the head of the Building Technology Program, a joint program with Architecture and Mechanical Engineering. It was packed! And it was a really good talk. My favorite part was when he talked about the prices of renewable energy and energy-saving renovations. It turns out that solar power is the most expensive, 10 times more expensive than wind power, which is apparently on par with how much oil or coal cost per kWh.
We/they'll be putting up the slides of the talks.
