Can Scientists Speak Truth to Power? Issues in US Energy Policy<br>
<br>
Scott Olson, Energy Delivery and Management Consultant, Nexant,
Inc<br>
Monday, November 1<br>
6:30 PM<br>
MIT Bldg 4 Rm 231 (http://whereis.mit.edu)<br>
<br>
There are many who say "US Energy Policy" is a bit of an
oxymoron. This<br>
talk will center on the key projects and initiatives developed by the
US<br>
government in the last decade, and what the impact to the US energy
market<br>
has been. It will also look at the items currently on the table
that will<br>
shape the supply of transportation fuels and generation of electricity
in<br>
the 21st century. The discussion will also include an
exploration for how<br>
energy policy is made and how you can become involved.<br>
<br>
Scott Olson has been engaged in all facets of the energy industry
during<br>
his 8 years of private, public, academic, and consulting experience.
He<br>
worked in the process engineering, economic optimization,
distribution,<br>
and planning fields during his 5 years in the petrochemical
industry,<br>
developing extensive knowledge of industry operations ranging from a
plant<br>
level to the impacts of global affairs and policy. He is
currently<br>
employed with the energy consulting firm Nexant in San Francisco.
His<br>
most recent project areas at Nexant have included coal and<br>
biomass gasification, carbon sequestration, clean fuels production
and<br>
distribution, and policy analysis to assist in greenhouse gas
emission<br>
reductions. He has a BS in Chemical Engineering from the
University of<br>
Minnesota and a Masters in Public Policy from UC Berkeley.<br>
