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.
