Sustainable Energy


Renewable vs. Sustainable Energy
Edward Kern, Jr., MIT Laboratory for Energy and Environment
TONIGHT!! at 5:30PM in 4-237

How do we strike a balance between using today's extractable and depleting 
resources and striving today to capture the promise of new and more costly 
renewable energy technologies?  If we continue to embrace centralized power 
technologies, what must we assume regarding benevolent governance and law 
enforcement, civil liberties and addressing society's discontents that 
would threaten the common good?  Dr. Kern will address the practical, 
theoretical and philosophical differences between sustainable and renewable 
energy in the context of sustainable development.
