Wayne State University Law School will present “Climate of Contempt: How to Rescue the U.S. Energy Transition from Voter Partisanship” by David B. Spence on Tuesday, September 3. from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. at Wayne Law, DJK 2242, 471 W. Palmer Ave. in Detroit.
“Climate of Contempt” offers a voter-centric, bottom-up explanation of national climate and energy politics, one that pinpoints bitter partisanship as the key impediment to transitioning to a net zero carbon future. Providing a timely and incisive understanding of the politics of the energy transition, “Climate of Contempt” suggests new paths forward and offers hope for a net-zero future.
Spence is the Rex G. Baker Chair in Natural Resources Law in the School of Law and professor of business, government, and society in the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, where he teaches courses in energy and environmental regulation. He is a coauthor of a leading casebook, “Energy, Economics, and the Environment.”
There is no cost to attend the in-person lecture.
