Illahee Series Begins THIS WEEK!

February marks the return of Portland’s forum for environmental and societal thinkers.  This year’s theme, “Innovation for the Public Good”, will explore how innovation is translated from abstract, small-scale ideas into widespread, beneficial public policy.

On Feb 3 rd, Illahee will present its first speaker, Roger Pielke, who will explain why he thinks we’d make better progress on addressing climate change by focusing on energy innovation rather than carbon reduction.   Roger is the author of many books and scientific articles covering everything from the environment and science policy to the space program.

Tom Dwyer Automotive is proud to begin our second year of sponsorship of this important and interesting series.  If you missed the Illahee Series last year, don’t repeat the mistake!  Be at the Portland’s First Congregational Church, Friday, February 4, when Roger Pielke kicks off a new season of important ideas.  Need more details?  Just follow this link to the Illahee website.
