Energy Security: The Real Story - May 13 to September 18
Energy Security: The Real Story – May 13 to September 18
It's a rare opportunity for the general public to hear from leading scientists and thinkers on the factors determining their woes at the bowser. It is truly an issue which will shape our destiny in the 21st century.
The Whitlam Institute with the UWS College of Health and Science sees this series as an opportunity to help put the Australian public in the driver's seat in this debate.
These five public forums aim to present the science, not the spin on energy issues.
The first lecture was a great success with standing room only in the theatre to hear from Dr Hugh Saddler, Martin Thomas and Prof John Bartlett who used their expertise to map out the current energy scene and the key questions we will need to ask in the future.
Local Parramatta residents queued up alongside scholars and environmentalists to question these eminent scientists about issues such as the impact of population on energy needs.
Session 2 on 19 June features Dr Beverley Ronalds, Chief of CSIRO Petroleum. Then on 1 July we’ll be hearing from Dr George Collins, Chief of Research at ANSTO, and others for a look at the possibilities and limitations of our nuclear options. Both promise to be highly stimulating, not-to-be-missed discussions
Highlights of the lectures are available on our website and on YouTube, but come along to get the full picture.
