Young Professionals Social Events: Alberta's Energy Diet

Hosted by: The Society of Petroleum Engineers- Young Professionals (SPE) & Young Professionals in Energy (YPE)

Description: The word "diet" implies less, but just as importantly, it implies a better quality of what we consume. Coal, oil and natural gas have long been staples of how we fuel our lives. But renewables, including hydro, solar, wind, and geothermal sources are increasingly becoming viable options and popular with the public. Does Alberta need to go on an energy diet? How are Alberta's oil, natural gas, and power sectors responding to the emergence of renewable opportunities and climate change policies?

Join us for appetizers and a drink as we welcome a distinguished group of panelists representing the oil, natural gas, and power industries to discuss these challenging and timely questions.

Guest Speakers:
Tim McMillian – President, Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers
Michael Binnion, President and CEO, Questerre Energy
Riley Georgsen – Director, Government Relations, TransAlta
