TEVE 1 - Panel - Climate Change & Peak Oil: A New Context for Residential Energy

Tuesday, April 08, 2008 · 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

We are in the beginning stages of the transition from a cheap, abundant energy economy to one in which energy conservation will be increasingly important. In addition, we are already witnessing changes to our ecosystem brought on by elevated CO₂ saturation. It is within this context that the panel will explore the implications for our work in the residential sector. Are we simply rearranging deck chairs?
