Nuclear energy is getting a second look as concerns about greenhouse gases and global warming mount. Supporters include not only the governor, but environmentalist Stewart Brand, author of the Whole Earth Catalog. Learn more about it August 4 at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, starting at 6 p.m.

$18 gets you admission, the right to attack a truly impressive offering of appetizers, and an absorbing presentation by:

  • Angie Howard, Senior Vice President, Nuclear Energy Institute
  • Geoffrey Rothwell, Senior Lecturer, Director of Honors Programs, Department of Economics; Associate Director, Public Policy Program, Stanford University; Chief Economist, U.S. Department of Energy
  • Ralph Cavanaugh, Senior Attorney and Co-director, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Energy Program

    • For more information, visit the Commonwealth Club’s Web site. And hey - the club is close to BART and bus lines, so consider limiting that carbon footprint with an earth-friendly commute!
