EURAC – The Energy Gamble: Transatlantic friends or foes?

In this seminar, Shanti Gamper-Rabindran will share insights into her book America’s Energy Gamble, which details how political, financial, and legal institutions entrench fossil fuel dependency, but also how efforts to shift to costcompetitive renewable energy have gained traction in the United States. She will also discuss the increasing focus on “decarbonization” strategies that might be considered questionable (i.e. carbon capture and storage). This will be followed by interventions on EU climate and energy policies and their current shaping of the energy transition in the EU, concluding with a discussion on whether in this energy gamble the US and the EU are friends or foes.

The event is organized by the Center for Climate Change and Transformation (climate.change@eurac.edu). 

No registration is required, the seminar will be conducted in English (no translation provided).
