The New Energy Reality

Featuring Dr. Charles A.S. Hall – Professor, School of Environmental Science and Forestry, State University of New York; Co-Author, Energy and the Wealth of Nations; ASPO-USA Advisory Board Member

Dr. Hall will provide an assessment of global energy trends from his perspective as a systems ecologist and pioneer in the emerging field of biophysical economics. This webinar will examine key concepts regarding energy quality and energy return on investment in the context of current world energy and economic challenges. A critique of neoclassical economics and its divergence from the laws of physics and ecology regarding energy will be implicit in the discussion.

Dr. Hall will also provide highlights from his recent book, Energy and the Wealth of Nations, co-authored with Kent Klitgaard.

Please join us for this informative and lively webinar.

Citizens have effectively resisted these ongoing risks—pushing back against Big Ag and mining. Their policies and plans serve as a model for the rest of the state. They demonstrate what a small number of determined citizens can do to safeguard their county.
