LBNL noon lecture tomorrow on EE and Renewables

[Maria Stamas]

Looks like there'll be a great noon lecture tomorrow, Thursday, at LBNL. The topic is Energy Efficiency and Renewables: Market and Behavioral Failures. Directions and more info below. Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to walk/bus there.

Best,

The Environmental Energy Technologies Division's Distinguished Lecture Series presents:

Energy Efficiency and Renewables: Market and Behavioral Failures
Jim Sweeney
Director of the Precourt Institute for Energy Efficiency
Stanford University

Thursday January 28, 2010 at Noon
Building 50 Auditorium of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Policies to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency have been gaining momentum throughout the world, often justified by environmental and energy security concerns. This presentation first talks about energy efficiency options, then delves into the economic motivation for energy efficiency and renewable energy policies by articulating the classes of relevant behavioral failures and market failures. Such behavioral and market failures may vary intertemporally or atemporally; the temporal structure and the extent of the failures are the critical considerations in the development of energy policies. The talk will discuss key policy instruments and assess the extent to which they are well-suited to correct for failures with different structures.

DIRECTIONS:
Students should take the LBNL shuttle (Blue Route) from Hearst Avenue to stop B50. Bring student ID for bus access. Maps/shuttle info available here.
