Alternative energy is increasingly discussed as a solution to many problems, including global warming and environmental degradation, as well as helping to reduce dependency on foreign oil, and creating jobs in a difficult economy.
This symposium explores the policy decisions and technology investments made in Europe to encourage the development of renewable and alternative energy as possible models for the American Midwest.
According to a number of experts, the energy industry in the Middle Western states is about to undergo a fundamental change. This symposium explores these questions:
• How much of regional energy transformation depends upon public policy?
• How much could development be held back by the lack of critical materials?
• How does government regulation influence (for the worse or for the better) the uptake of new technologies?
• What can U.S. industry learn from European industry on these questions?
Keynote address
Jennifer Morgan, Director, Climate and Energy Program, World Resource Institute
Panelist:
Matt Auer, Professor and Dean, Hutton Honors College, Indiana University, Bloomington
Arne Jungjohann, Henrich Boell Foundation, Washington, D.C. (invited)
Jim Stein, Vice President, Schott Solar, Germany and the United States
John Dismukes, Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Toledo
Policy Commentary
Caroline S. Wagner, Milton & Roslyn Wolf Chair and Director, Battelle Center for Science & Technology Policy, The John Glenn School of Public Affairs, The Ohio State University
