Webinar: The Transition to Renewable Energy

Thursday, 18 August 2016 - 1:15pm

The next few decades will see a profound energy transformation throughout the world. By the end of the century (and perhaps sooner), we will shift from fossil fuel dependence to rely primarily on renewable sources – solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal power. Driven by the need to avert catastrophic climate change and by the depletion of easily accessible oil, coal, and natural gas, this transformation will entail a major shift in how we live. What might a 100% renewable future look like? Which technologies will play a crucial role in our energy future? What challenges will we face in this transition? And how can we make sure our new system is just and equitable?

Join energy experts Richard Heinberg and David Fridley, authors of the new book Our Renewable Future, for a discussion about the challenges and opportunities presented by the shift to renewable energy.
