Energy (and Other) Events Monthly - August 2023

 These kinds of events below are happening all over the world every day and most of them, now, are webcast and archived, sometimes even with accurate transcripts. Would be good to have a place that helped people access them. 


This is a more global version of the local listings I did for about a decade (what I did and why I did it at http://hubeventsnotes.blogspot.com/2013/11/what-i-do-and-why-i-do-it.html) until September 2020 and earlier for a few years in the 1990s (https://theworld.com/~gmoke/AList.index.html).  

A more comprehensive global listing service could be developed if there were enough people interested in doing it, if it hasn’t already been done.  

If anyone knows of such a global listing of open energy, climate, and other events is available, please put me in contact.

Thanks for reading,

Whole Project Decarbonizatioin
Wednesday, August 2
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Online
RSVP at https://online.architects.org/bsassa/f?p=EVTSSA:4010::::4010:P0_EVENT_ID:3724:
Cost:  $40- $80

This session will explore the relationships between embodied and operational carbon; the role of architects, construction managers, MEP engineers, and structural/civil engineers in quantifying and reducing the carbon footprint of buildings; and the tradeoffs faced when evaluating how to achieve the best operational performance with the lowest upfront carbon cost. Additionally, this presentation will discuss strategies for educating the next generation of AEC professionals on carbon literacy.

Objectives include:
Define the relative impact of operational vs embodied carbon in a project’s life cycle.
Identify key strategies for reducing operational carbon emissions
Recognize which types of analyses to run at each stage of a project’s life cycle to minimize carbon emissions
Distinguish between operational carbon and embodied carbon, and where they influence one another

The role of the building industry in contributing to climate change is no secret. As such, it is key for the AEC industry to become more carbon literate in an effort to slow or mitigate the impact of climate change. Central to this is developing the ability to define and implement carbon reduction strategies not just for the building occupants and users of today, but for the health, safety, and welfare of those building occupants and users of the future, who will be facing an even more tangible impact of our changing planet.

Presenters:
Suzanne Robinson P.E. LEED AP | Director of Sustainability, LeMessurier

The Inflation Reduction Act: One Year In
Thursday, August 3
12:00-1:00 PM CT
Online
RSVP at https://zoom.us/webinar/register/1616897124744/WN_7ylBMjTHRiGEVUKwc9Ryrw#/registration

This is the shortened public version of our Q2 US Virtual Group Meeting.

The passing of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022 heralded a new wave of clean tech manufacturing and deployment in the USA. Project development has accelerated, with capacity in interconnection queues increasing by over 40% year-over-year in 2022—and growing.

Almost one year in, however, significant uncertainty still remains around key IRA provisions. The Treasury has issued a plethora of guidance, yet exact definitions for tax credit adder qualifications, such as the energy communities, are still outstanding. Meanwhile, challenges with interconnection queue backlogs, permitting, and transmission upgrades continue to slow the pace at which new projects can be deployed.

In this pan-US session, we will present an overview of the wider US federal policy landscape alongside detailed analysis from the ERCOT, PJM, CAISO, and MISO markets.

The session will address the following questions:
How much has the IRA changed the development landscape of new power projects in the US?
How will tax credit pass-through impact project viability and long-term deployment?
Where is the main uncertainty surrounding outstanding guidance from Treasury/IRS?
What is the impact of curtailment on the selection of the PTC vs ITC?
How will EPA rules impact the retirement of thermal assets?

We look forward to welcoming you to the session.

Jeff Goodell: The Heat Will Kill You First
Monday, August 7 
8:30pm EDT [5:30 PM PDT]
The Commonwealth Club of California, 110 The Embarcadero, Toni Rembe Rock Auditorium, San Francisco
and Online
RSVP at https://commonwealthclub.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a0F3j00001ia8QnEAI
Cost:  $5

“When heat comes, it’s invisible. It doesn’t bend tree branches or blow hair across your face to let you know it’s arrived. . . . The sun feels like the barrel of a gun pointed at you.” 

The world is waking up to a new reality: wildfires are now seasonal in California, the Northeast is getting less and less snow each winter, and the ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctica are melting fast. Heat is the first-order threat that drives all other impacts of the climate crisis. As the temperature rises, it is revealing fault lines in our governments, our politics, our economy and our values. Journalist Jeff Goodall says the basic science is not complicated: Stop burning fossil fuels tomorrow, and the global temperature will stop rising tomorrow. Stop burning fossil fuels in 50 years, and the temperature will keep rising for 50 years, making parts of our planet virtually uninhabitable. The hotter it gets, the deeper and wider our fault lines will open.

Goodell's book The Heat Will Kill You First is about the extreme ways in which our planet is already changing. It is about why spring is coming a few weeks earlier and fall is coming a few weeks later—and the impact that will have on everything from our food supply to disease outbreaks. It is about what will happen to our lives and our communities when typical summer days in Chicago or Boston go from 90 degrees Fahrenheit to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. A heatwave, Goodell explains, is a predatory event, one that culls the most vulnerable people; but that is changing—as heatwaves become more intense and more common, they will become more democratic. 

As an award-winning journalist who has been at the forefront of environmental journalism for decades, Goodell might be his most provocative yet, explaining how extreme heat will dramatically change the world as we know it.

Local Tech Ecologies 
Tuesday, August 8
9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (in-person)
9 a.m. - 1 p.m. (live-streamed)
University Memorial Center room 235, University of Colorado Boulder
and Online
RSVP at https://www.colorado.edu/lab/medlab/2023/06/26/conference-local-tech-ecologies

When the devastating Marshall Fire spread across Boulder County in on December 30, 2021, many of us turned to our phones and our networks. They helped us make sense of the crisis and keep each other safe. We relied on information from local organizations and governments, as well as global platforms not designed for a moment like that, and not designed for our community.

What if we valued local technology the way we value local food and local businesses?

This event explores opportunities and challenges for building healthy tech ecosystems that are focused on the needs of local communities—with a focus on projects active across Colorado's Front Range. What kinds of social media could bring people together rather than driving them apart? What kinds of gig platforms could put workers and small businesses above global monopolies? How can regional journalists develop tools truly suited to their needs? The event will make space to introduce projects already cultivating local tech ecologies in Colorado and beyond, and we will discuss strategies for more intentionally developing those ecologies in the future.

Speakers include:
Aaron Brockett (mayor, City of Boulder)
Becks Boone, Jamie Anderson (Rootable)
Caroline Savery (Bloom Network)
Erika Iacono (Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center)
Ethan Zuckerman (UMass Amherst)
Josh Ritzer (Nigh)
LeeLee James (Slay the Runway)
libi striegl (Media Archaeology Lab)
Mike Perhats (Nosh)
Saleh Khaled Ibrahim (Phoenix of Gaza XR)

Lunch will be served, along with snacks and a reception at the end. This is a free event, but please consider making a donation to MEDLab to support our work.

Organized by the Media Economies Design Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder and made possible by a generous gift from Colorado ReWild.

David Gessner & Nina de Gramont: A Traveler's Guide to the End of the World
Wednesday, August 16
7:00PM ET
Brookline Booksmith, 279 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA

In person at Brookline Booksmith! Celebrate the release of A Traveler's Guide to the End of the World with author David Gessner, in conversation with Nina de Gramont. Register for the event!RSVP to let us know you're coming! Depending on the volume of responses, an RSVP may be required for entrance to the event. You will also be alerted to important details about the program, including safety requirements, cancellations, and book signing updates. A Traveler's Guide to the End of the World: Tales of Fire, Wind, and Water Bestselling author David Gessner asks what kind of planet his daughter will inherit in this coast-to-coast guide to navigating climate crisis.

The world is burning and the seas are rising. How do we navigate this new age of extremes? In A Traveler's Guide to the End of the World, David Gessner takes readers on an eye-opening tour of climate hotspots from the Gulf of Mexico to the burning American West to New York City to the fragile Outer Banks, where homes are being swallowed by the seas. He does so with his usual sense of humor, compassion, and a willingness to talk to anyone, providing an informative and sobering yet convivial guide for the age of fire, heat, wind, and water.

Gessner approaches scientists and thinkers with a father's question: What will the world be like in forty-two years? Gessner was forty-two when his daughter, Hadley, was born. What will the world be like in 2064, when Hadley is his age now? What is the future of weather? The future of heat, storms, and fire? What exactly will our children be facing? A Traveler's Guide to the End of the World tells a story of climate crisis that will both entertain and shake people awake to the necessity of navigating this new age together.

David Gessner is the author of Quiet Desperation, Savage Delight: Sheltering with Thoreau in the Age of Crisis, Leave It As It Is: A Journey Through Theodore Roosevelt’s American Wilderness, and the New York Times–bestselling All the Wild That Remains: Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner and the American West. Chair of the Creative Writing Department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and founder and editor-in-chief of Ecotone, Gessner lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, with his wife, the novelist Nina de Gramont, and their daughter, Hadley.

Sustainable Supply Chains: Pushing the NHS towards a Greener Future
Wednesday, August 23 
7:30 - 08:30am EDT
Online
RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sustainable-supply-chains-pushing-the-nhs-towards-a-greener-future-tickets-566954394857

This webinar will see NHS and industry professionals, and business discuss how the NHS can move towards a more sustainable supply chain

The NHS is committed to reaching net zero by 2040 for their directly controlled emissions, and by 2045 for the emissions they influence through goods and services bought from their suppliers. But, to achieve this ambitious goal, the NHS needs a great deal of collaboration from their suppliers. The Net Zero Supplier Roadmap sets out a step-by-step timeline to help suppliers align with the NHS’s net zero goals between now and 2030 (including a two year grace period on milestones up to 2027 for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises). But what extra steps will the NHS and their suppliers need to take to ensure their success on their net zero journey? And how easy will this transition be for both parties? This webinar will see NHS and industry professionals, and business with products or services to aid the NHS in moving towards a more sustainable supply chain come together to discuss what will be needed to build a greener future.

Guardians of the Valley: John Muir and the Friendship that Saved Yosemite
Tuesday, August 29
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Online
RSVP at https://wgbh.zoom.us/webinar/register/5016594478101/WN_o1sIx5kqSUWrxAmnwwgBDA#/registration

Dean King discusses his 2023 book, Guardians of the Valley: John Muir and the Friendship that Saved Yosemite, the dramatic and uplifting story of legendary outdoorsman and conservationist John Muir’s quest to protect one of America’s most magnificent landscapes, Yosemite.

In this portrait of a place, a time, and a movement, the bestselling author Dean King takes us behind the scenes, to the beginning of America’s love affair with Yosemite Valley. In June of 1889 in San Francisco, John Muir—iconic environmentalist, writer, and philosopher—met face-to-face with his longtime editor Robert Underwood Johnson, an elegant and influential figure at The Century magazine. Before long, the pair ventured to Yosemite Valley, the magnificent site Muir had visited twenty years earlier. There, they confronted a shocking vision, as predatory mining, tourism, and logging industries had plundered and defaced “the grandest of all the special temples of Nature.” The rest is history: that watershed moment led to the creation of Yosemite National Park, and launched an environmental battle that at once captivated the nation and ushered in the beginning of the American environmental movement. Join us for King’s illustrated presentation of his riveting new book, Guardians of the Valley, “a rich, enjoyable excursion into a seminal period in environmental history” (The Wall Street Journal).

Harnessing Machine Learning for Climate Policy
Thursday, August 31
8 - 9am EDT
Online
RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/harnessing-machine-learning-for-climate-policy-tickets-661756731197

This presentation explores applications of machine learning in the realm of climate policy, with a specific focus on evaluating the actions of subnational and non-state actors such as cities, regions, and corporations. In recent years, these actors have emerged as key players in driving climate action, and their efforts have the potential to significantly impact global emissions reduction targets. Leveraging machine learning techniques, we can effectively assess the initiatives and contributions of these entities towards climate mitigation and adaptation goals. This presentation showcases the diverse ways in which machine learning can analyze large-scale data sets, identify trends, and provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders.
