EIRES: EnergyDays CAN WE END FOSSIL FUELS?
CAN WE END FOSSIL FUELS?
Reducing the use of fossil fuels is necessary to address climate change. But for national security reasons it seems difficult to rid ourselves of coal, oil and gas.
So, can it be done? And should policy focus on fossil fuels, or use generic climate policy instruments? Different academic perspectives co-exist on this controversial topic.
This Spring's edition of the TU/e | EIRES EnergyDays brings several of these together to discuss whether – and how – we can end fossil fuels.
