The Wallace Stegner Center’s 13th annual symposium, to be held on March 7 to 8, 2008, will focus on the question of whether and how alternative energy sources can help to solve the climate change problem. Our symposium is multi-disciplinary in both its nature and format and will include scientists, engineers, economists, and policy analysts, offering perspectives from industry, government, the academy, non-profit organizations, and research and development.
