future, followed by a Q&A with Scott Tinker, director of the Bureau
of Economic Geology<br />
When: Monday, November 12, 7:00-9:00 pm<br />
Where: Student Activity Center Auditorium (SAC 1.402)<br />
<br />
Come early for free pizza at 6:30pm in the Jackson Geosciences
Building Student Center, across the east mall from the Student Activity
Center.<br />
<br />
Background: In 2009, documentary filmmaker Harry Lynch and geologist Dr.
Scott Tinker set out to make a film on our transition from the current
fossil fuel dominated energy system to a more diversified system. The
goal was not to advocate for one technology over another, not to suggest
how the transition should happen -- but to try to determine how it
actually would happen, based on scientifically-sound investigation and
the practical realities of the world of energy as we discovered them.
The result, is Switch.<br />
<br />
The event, which is free and open to public, is sponsored by the Jackson
School of Geosciences and the Austin Geological Society.<br />
