Please join the Carnegie Mellon University Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation as it kicks off its 2019 Distinguished Lecture Series!

We're excited to host a Fireside Chat titled “Advancing a Clean Environment and Clean Energy: Lessons from the Trenches and a Look Ahead" with veteran policymaker and recognized environmental leader Katie McGinty (who is also our Board Member!) and deep decarbonization expert Karl Hausker.

McGinty will present on stories and strategies on tackling tough environmental challenges drawing from her experiences as Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality and as Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Hausker will present on the division within the climate policy community between those who advocate 100% renewable pathways, and those who advocate a broader range of technologies, including nuclear and/or carbon capture (CCS) options in addition to renewables. He will explore strategies for bridging this divide to effectively address this toughest of environmental challenges.

Lunch will be available at 11:45 a.m. Registration is free.
