Keynote addresses
Edward J. Markey ’68, J.D. ’72 United States senator from Massachusetts and congressional leader on energy and climate change

This Sesquicentennial symposium explores the science of energy generation and the politics and policies of energy use. Scientists today concur that human dependence on fossil fuels has changed our climate, particularly over the past 150 years. Some of our greatest challenges in the future will involve discovering new forms of energy, finding efficient routes to energy conversion, and developing national and global agreements on energy management.
Panel discussions will focus on energy research, energy conversion, and energy’s future in an uncertain age.
The symposium is free and open to the public.
