Meet Author Peter Fox-Penner

Author Peter Fox-Penner discusses his book, "Smart Power: Climate Change, the Smart Grid, and the Future of Electric Utilities" on April 16, 2010 as part of Northeastern University Libraries' Meet the Author Series. "Smart Power" examines how and why the utility industry must make dramatic changes as it faces the combined impact of climate change, the smart grid and energy efficient polices. It reviews the current prospects for long-term power generation alternatives, from solar panels attached to our homes and offices, to new coal-burning plants that will allow for the capture and sequestration of carbon emissions. It is a compelling read for those interested in green energy and climate policy, as well as for policymakers, students, and all industry practitioners and climate change activists. Peter Fox-Penner, an internationally recognized authority on energy and electric power industry issues, is a principal and chairman emeritus of The Brattle Group, a leading international economic consulting firm. Find his book in the Library's catalog, NUCAT at HD9685.U5 F6144 2010.
