The event advertised below kicks off at 7pm on Tuesday (tomorrow) evening, April 8, 2008. It is open to the general public and is organised by Energy Crossroads. This is a rare chance to hear Robert Swan, OBE, a British polar explorer who has been on numerous expeditions to Antarctica as a member of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), speak about his climate mission.

From Energy Crossroads — you are cordially invited to attend the “Voyage for Cleaner Energy: Robert Swan Lecture” on April 8 at 7pm at Stanford’s Tresidder Memorial Union – Oak West. The event is open to the general public.

Robert Swan is kicking off his 5-year awareness campaign and lecture series right here in the Bay Area, with Stanford as a big stop. As a polar explorer, he witnessed the effects of global warming first-hand and now is striving to amass the public will necessary to make policy changes, and cultural changes, that will accelerate the use of clean energy.
