The Energy Production and Infrastructure Center will host a free screening of the documentary “Switch” at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 19.
A 98-minute documentary, “Switch” focuses on the impending and fundamental changes coming to global energy supplies and technologies.
According to Scott Tinker, director of the Bureau of Economic Geology and state geologist for Texas, the documentary is about “switching from a polarized, unproductive energy conversation and focusing instead on practical realities and encouraging a balanced understanding. In changing the way we produce, deliver and use energy, we can realize many additional economic and environmental benefits.”
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion featuring various local energy experts. Scott Carlberg, executive director of E4 Carolinas, will moderate.
More than a dozen college campuses across North and South Carolina are conducting screenings of “Switch.” Attendees to the Feb. 19 screening will enjoy free pizza and drinks starting at 6 p.m.; the film starts at 6:30 p.m.
While the event is free, with space limited on a first-come, first-served basis, registration is requested.
