While there are changes to the way we live that can make a difference, it is also the way we think, our level of understanding about progress on non-carbon options, including nuclear fission and fusion, that will prove essential. Come hear a conversation between two experts in energy-related fields on the status of these options and how you might be able to get involved.</p></div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal">Sign up and more information is at </div><div style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"><a href="https://www.strangertickets.com/events/126760103/global-politics-energy-on-a-warming-planet" target="_blank">Stranger Tickets</a>: <a href="https://www.strangertickets.com/events/126760103/global-politics-energy-on-a-warming-planet" target="_blank">https://www.strangertickets.com/events/126760103/global-politics-energy-on-a-warming-planet</a>. </div></div><div style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"><br></div><div style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"><br></div><div style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal"><img id="m_-6859918638538746792m_-1451866516911366923C07CDD36-C1F7-4085-A623-53E13E0DA64C" src="cid:182595ff86945ccb1451"><img id="m_-6859918638538746792m_-1451866516911366923C36D755C-8EE3-45FC-A0C2-ACAEF6513E93" src="cid:182595ff86947d813ae2"><img id="m_-6859918638538746792m_-14518665169113669239912E6A7-B50D-414C-813A-1E651D5DBFE6"><br></div></div></div></div>
