Feb. 21, 3:30-5 pm - Toyota Auditorium 
 Baker Forum on Energy & the Environment - Energy: The Next 50 Years

Dr. George Crabtree, Senior Scientist, Distinguished Fellow and Associate 
Division Director in the Materials Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory 
will present a talk. Co-sponsored by TNSCORE

ABSTRACT: Energy is undergoing an historic transition, from predominantly 
fossil to more diverse and sustainable sources including wind, solar, biofuels and 
nuclear.  These sources are increasingly capable of interchangeably serving a 
variety of end uses including transportation, lighting, refrigeration, heating, 
industry, entertainment and communication.  Science and technology lead the 
transition through discovery of new phenomena and development of new 
technologies for production, storage and use of energy.  The agenda for 
science discoveries and technology innovation needed to achieve a vibrant, 
interactive and rapidly advancing global society over the next fifty years will be 
examined from the point of view of societal needs, international relationships, 
and promising science directions.  The roles of electricity, chemical fuels and 
photons as sustainable and fungible energy carriers will be emphasized.

THREE TENNESSEE GOVERNORS will discuss civility and free expression on  
Feb. 21, 5:30 pm, Toyota Auditorium

Balancing Civility & Free Expression . . . for Effective Governance

Join our distinguished panel of former and present Tennessee governors for this 
important discussion on civility and free expression for effective governance. 

We will explore civility on the campaign trail and in debates, civility within the 
legislature, and civility and citizen interaction with government.  And who 
better to discuss this issue than our present and two former Tennessee 
governors, Gov. Bill Haslam, Gov. Phil Bredesen and Gov. Don Sundquist.  The 
panel will be moderated by Memphis attorney and UT alum, Bill Haltom.

The Tennessee Bar Association has partnered with the ABA Division for Public 
Education as part of Civility and Free Expression in a Constitutional Democracy- 
A National Dialogue. This program is made possible through the National 
Endowment for the Humanities Bridging Cultures initiative.  Also sponsored by 
the Baker Center, First Amendment Center and UT College of Law.
