Putting the "Fun" Back in "Infrastructure": The Electric System and the Future of Energy


Date:
02/29/2012


Time:
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM


Location:
IonE Seminar Room R380, Learning & Environmental Sciences Bldg., St. Paul


Description:
Presenter: Maggie Koerth-Baker
Science Editor, BoingBoing.net and author of Before the Lights Go Out: Conquering the Energy Crisis Before it Conquers Us
Electricity just happens. Flip a switch, and the lights turn on. The system is reliable enough and invisible enough that it’s easy to spend your entire life not knowing how it works, even though you use it every day. But in an age of limited resources and climate change, ignoring our electric infrastructure is a luxury we can no longer afford. The good news: Infrastructure is fascinating. Koerth-Baker explains how our flawed and surprisingly precarious electric system evolved, how it controls what we can and can’t do to solve our energy crisis today, and what we can learn about the future of energy by studying its past.
