Due to a late cancellation from the Omni we have been forced to change location for this Friday's FFNL to the Wyndham Houston West Energy Corridor located at 14703 Park Row Dr, Houston, TX 77079. Look forward to seeing everyone on Friday and we apologize for the late change.
Local Impacts of Climate Change
We welcome you to listen in on a presentation about climate, specifically here in Texas, and how we can effect it through the use of specific programs. The presentation will describe some of the local impacts of climate change in Texas, NOT discuss the science of climate change. Also, it will provide descriptions of several options of pricing CO2 equivalents and the relative merits of such approaches. Lastly, the economic impact of Carbon Fee and Dividend (CF&D) will be described in the presentation.
The next STS-AIChE First Friday Networking Lunch (FFNL) will be held on Friday, March 2nd from 11:30AM - 1:00PM at the Omni Houston Hotel at Westside (13210 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77079). The lunch menu ranges from $10 to $15, and the South Texas Section will subsidize this event by $5 per attendee. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Have suggestions, ideas, comments or want to speak at a future FFNL? Please contact Fabian Solberg at 815-307-5746 or fabian.solberg@eisenmann.com.
