arbcombo -- Chair's Lecture Series: "California's Energy Future: The View to 2050"

We are pleased to announce the first topic in the
new 'Chair's Lecture Series' on:

"California's Energy Future: The View to 2050".

Dr. Jane C.S. Long
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Friday, July 15, 2011 10:00 – 11:30 am PDT
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California

The report, released in May by the California Council on Science
and Technology, examines what's needed for California to achieve
the goal of the executive order from 2005 to reduce the state's
emissions 80 percent below the 1990 level by 2050.

Dr. Jane Long, co-chair of California's Energy Future Committee,
will give an overview of the report's innovative methodology, and
its basic finding: that the technology we need to get to the 60
percent mark is either in demonstration, or already in use – but
that pushing on to a full 80 percent reduction in emissions will
require significant levels of research, development, invention
and innovation.

A Q&A and panel discussion will follow the lecture, featuring
Miriam John, the other co-chair of California's Energy Future
Committee, seven of the report's lead authors, and a member of
the report's working committee including:

• Jeffery Greenblatt, Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory
• Bryan Hannegan, Electric Power Research Institute
• Nathan Lewis, California Institute of Technology
• Burton Richter, Stanford University
• Max Wei, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
• Chris Yang, University of California, Davis
• Heather Youngs, University of California, Berkeley
