*MARCH 11:* *Science & Society Public Talks*
Thursday @ 5:00 pm Meet & Greet 4:30 pm UNM Conference Center 1634 Univ.
Blvd.
Larry Papay is currently CEO and Principal of PQR, LLC, a management
consulting firm specializing in managerial, financial, and technical
strategies for a variety of clients in electrical power and other energy
areas. He has been engaged in energy and environmental systems for over
40 years including the development and demonstration of renewable
technologies. Larry has served on numerous state and national
committees. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and
serves on its Board of Councilors. He chaired the Panel on Electricity
from Renewables and co-chairs a joint committee with the Chinese
Academies on Renewables.
*_Abstract: _*Today, about 10% of all electrical generation in the U.S.
is from renewables, mostly from hydroelectric sources. A U. S. National
Academies Panel found that, with a sustained effort, renewables could
produce 20 percent of the nation's electricity generation by 2020 and 30
percent of electricity generation by 2030 - 2035. The major impediments
to accomplishing this are issues dealing with deployment and
integration. Larry will discuss these issues.
