Climate and Energy and Policy, Oh My!

Monday, April 28th 5:30-7:30 pm

Clinton Community Center (101 S Hicks St, Clinton, TN 37716)


Climate change, energy use, and policy are inextricably entwined and rapidly evolving. 


Dan will draw from his mildly obsessive attention to these issues to explore where we’ve come from in the recent past, where we are now, and what we can do both locally and nationally as we move forward on these issues.


Dan Terpstra is a retired computer scientist who spent the last dozen years of his career working with supercomputers in the Innovative Computing Lab at the University of Tennessee. He has long been concerned about climate change and its impacts on society. He taught several ORICL courses on climate and energy and related issues, and has been facilitating an adult Sunday School class on climate and related justice issues for the past five years. He is a founding member of Third Act Tennessee, part of a national organization defending democracy and climate action. Dan and Peggy have raised their three children in Oak Ridge, living at the same address for 40 years.


Come at 5:30 for pizza ($5.00 suggested donation). The talk will begin at 6:00 pm.
