Action is the only way to stem climate change. The latest innovations and initiatives in Illinois, the U.S., and in global energy sectors hold promise, but where does the path lead, as of now?
Todd Rusk, a certified energy manager, will provide a breath of fresh air on the topic Tuesday, March 28, in Moulton Hall, room 208 at 6 p.m. The event is free, open to the public, and sponsored by the Energy for a Sustainable Future Seminar Series.
His talk will define net zero energy and the efforts necessary to achieve it by 2050. For Rusk, a future with net zero greenhouse gas emissions is possible, but the challenges and opportunities are often unique to different regions of the world.
