materials. Advances in rechargeable batteries would enable widespread adoption
of practical electric vehicles taking us beyond hybrids and obviating the need
for fuel-cells. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions plus the freedom from
reliance on overseas sources of petroleum with attendant geopolitical
implications give special value to an all-electric fleet. Innovation in
stationary electrical energy storage at high amperage would enable us to store
off-peak power from the grid for subsequent delivery on demand during high
usage periods. Adoption of wind or photovoltaic generation hinges to a large
extent on the advent of proper storage technology: renewables are enabled by
colossal batteries. Examples of innovation in both portable and stationary energy
storage will be presented.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>2) Power Up! Strategies for Getting Energy

Both environmental and employment concerns must be seen as essential goals of
sustainable transformations, focusing simultaneously on co-optimizing
improvements in economic welfare, environment, and employment in an integrated,
rather than merely coordinated, manner by fashioning winning forces and
scenarios through both regulation and providing the correct incentives. This
involves (1) broadening and opening up the policy agenda beyond environmental
concerns; (2) removing perverse incentives for unsustainable practices; (3)
avoiding lock-in and agenda/government capture by incumbent industry and other
stakeholders; and (4) government acting a trustee for industrial transformations,
not merely a referee of competing interests. Finally, the necessary and
sufficient conditions for change must be addressed in policy initiatives:
willingness, opportunity/motivation, and capacity for the private sector,
government, and people to change.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Co-sponsored by</span></b><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">: Sustainability@MIT<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="color:#0070C0">* * * * * * * * * * * * *

This workshop - designed to support the work of MIT's Green Ambassadors, but
open to all - will offer an interactive session that provides insights into the
latest thinking and research on effective behavior change strategies to promote
greener practices on campus. Breakout sessions will explore on-campus
strategies that work in your office, lab, or dorm. Kat Donnelly, a Ph.D.
student in Technology, Management & Policy who is conducting cutting edge
research on behavior change and energy conservation, will be presenting. A
light lunch will be provided. If enrollement becomes limited, preference will
be given to MIT Green Ambassadors.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Co-sponsored</b> <b>by: </b>Campus Energy Task Force

source for power generation in China with potential for significant reduction
of CO2 emissions. The present study investigates both onshore and offshore
potentials for wind energy in China based on the winds from NASA. The analysis
assumes deployment of a network of 1.5-MW turbines and 3.6-MW turbines to
capture the kinetic energy in onshore and offshore wind respectively in China.
Forested areas, built up areas, ice-covered areas, and relative steep areas are
considered unsuitable for installations of wind turbines and therefore excluded
from the present analysis. A GIS‐based financial model is established to
evaluate the amount of land-based wind energy that could be harvested
economically under the concession policy in China. Assuming a guaranteed price
of 0.516 RMB/kWh over an initial fixed‐price period, the results suggest that
wind could accommodate all of the demand for electricity projected for 2030,
about twice current consumption. Electricity available at a concession price as
low as 0.4 RMB per kilowatt-hour would be sufficient to displace 23% of
electricity generated from coal.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Advance sign up
