The geopolitics of energy plays a key and dynamic role in modern life, affecting many aspects of international decision-making. This truth has been more than highlighted by Russia’s war in Ukraine. Issues surrounding energy are critical to security relationships and are central to all considerations of climate change and its impacts.Join Nick Touran, Ph.D. a nuclear engineer, and Scott L. Montgomery, M.S. an energy policy expert for a conversation on essential developments related to the Energy Transition and its geopolitical realities. Following the conversation, there will be time for audiance Q&A.
Energy use is by far the largest source of climate-warming gases, which means every one of us is directly involved, and in a position to do something positive. While there are changes to the way we live that can make a difference, it is also the way we think, our level of understanding about progress on non-carbon options, including nuclear fission and fusion, that will prove essential. Come hear a conversation between two experts in energy-related fields on the status of these options and how you might be able to get involved.
