The show encourages audience participation as Nelder and Murphy discuss the existing power grid and the transition to renewable energy alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>UCCS will be the second university to host \u201cThe Energy Transition Show,\u201d according to Devin Moeller, instructor, and Geospatial Technology Lab Director, Geography and Environmental Studies Department. The first was in November 2017 at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI expect\u00a0Chris and\u00a0David to touch on the principles of energy transitions, efficiency metrics and to introduce the concepts of a standardized methodology for effective comparative assessment,\u201d Moeller said. \u201cBut this event will be highly interactive with the direction of the conversation determined by audience input and feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event is free and open to faculty, staff and students. The format is informal and dedicated to general discussion among those who have an interest in science topics but who might not have specialized training or knowledge of the subject area.<\/p>\n<p>Questions?
