Event Details

There are a few things we know about energy. We know that we still need fossil fuels, that new technologies are making renewable energy viable, a policy solution is required to enable clean consumption, and nations all over the world must work to balance economic growth with environmental degradation. What we don’t know is everything else. The 2011 Tufts Energy Conference will explore some of the great debates that are leading towards innovative thinking in the energy industry. Our goal is to create constructive debate on how incremental policy changes and business model innovations can make a meaningful impact on global energy challenges in the next 10 years.

The 2011 Tufts Energy Conference will discuss challenging questions such as: what is the price of energy security? Can renewable energy ever compete in this fossil fuel-based world? Are resource-intensive energy alternatives too hot to handle? Can the transportation industry evolve in time to meet the climate change imperative? Will energy efficiency gain widespread buy-in and what does this movement mean for our energy landscape? How do developed and developing nations share the benefits of an alternative energy future? TEC 2011 will bring together students, industry leaders, academics and policymakers to discuss these questions, because the only way to get straight answers is to have tough conversations.

Panels:

·         A Tale of Shale: Drill Baby Drill or Too ‘Fracking’ Risky?

·         Clean Energy Imperative: Improving Energy Access or Promoting Energy Poverty?

·         Deepwater Drilling: The Price of Energy Security?  

·         Mass Transit: Fast Track to the Future or Rail to Nowhere?

·         Energy Efficiency: Negawatt Revolution or Power Failure?  

·         Clean Energy Integration: An Investment in a Greener Future or a Costly Path Astray?

Tufts Energy Conference

The Tufts Energy Conference engages industry experts, policymakers, professionals and the rising generation of energy leaders in a thought-provoking and solution-based discussion on the pertinent challenges and opportunities facing today’s energy sector. Interdisciplinary and intergenerational – the conference is organized by a diverse mix of Tufts undergraduates and graduate students from The Fletcher School for Law & Diplomacy, the Urban and Environmental Policy & Planning program and the School for Arts, Sciences & Engineering.

 

From a two-session panel session in 2006, the conference has grown to include:

  • A full two-day conference featuring key leaders from the energy field
  • Showcase featuring energy-related projects and technologies developed by companies, NGOs, governmental organizations, and research groups
  • Tufts Energy Competition – a celebration of innovative student-driven energy projects on-campus and in local communities
  • Opportunities for professional networking and career & internship recruitment
