Jacobson (Director\, Atmosphere Ener gy Program\, Stanford University)\, Phil Radford (former Greenpeace Execut ive Director)\, Mark O'Malley (Director of the Energy Institute\, Universi ty College Dublin) and others!\n\n \n\nRSVP today for the Third Annual Tro ttier Symposium in Sustainable Engineering\, Energy and Design! March 8th and 9th at the Centre Mont-Royal from 6:30-8:30pm\, both days\n  \n\nIn 201 6\, the landscape for renewables looks encouraging and challenging. The re cent enthusiastic buzz and public support surrounding renewable energy con fronts doubt despite decades of roughly 30% annual growth in solar and win d production. Costs of renewables are dropping rapidly\, as photovoltaic m odules costs have fallen by approximately 10% per year over the past 30 ye ars and the costs of wind turbines by roughly 5%. Yet\, still only 23% of installed capacity is from renewable resources. Why not a higher percentag e?\n\nJoin international technical experts and thought leaders as they exp lore integrating renewables\, energy storage\, and leadership needed to tr ansform society.\n\nPresentations include: 'Pick your battles: Championing clean energy at the corporate and community levels' (Radford)\, 'Renewabl e energy integration: the good\, the bad and the ugly' (O'Malley)\, and 'R oadmaps for transitioning all 50 U.S. states and 139 countries to wind\, w ater\, and solar power for all purposes' (Jacobson)\n \n Learn more about ou r speakers and program!\n\nEach year the Trottier Institute for Sustainabi lity in Engineering and Design (TISED) at ɬÀï·¬ and the Instit ut de l’énergie Trottier (IET) at Polytechnique Montréal take turns hostin g the Trottier Symposium in Sustainable Engineering\, Energy and Design. M ade possible through the generous support the Trottier Family Foundation\, this is a forum for students\, professors\, government and industry profe ssionals to connect with the general public on advancements for sustainabi lity through engineering and design.\n\n \n\n \n DTSTART:20160308T233000Z DTEND:20160310T013000Z LOCATION:1000 Sherbrooke Ouest\, CA\, Centre Mont-Royal\, 1000\, rue Sherbr ooke O.\, Montréal SUMMARY:Renewables: What holds us back?
