Environmental Science (2) Biodiversity: An Economic Approach  From: London School of Economics and Political Science Biodiversity is an issue that is sometimes viewed in isolation. But environmentalism does not occur in a sphere of its own: it is of crucial importance that we integrate it into our vision of a functioning society and economy. In this seminar, Giles Atkinson, lecturer in environmental policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, examines the opportunity cost of biodiversity. Environmental Game Changers: The Future of Energy and Contamination From: RAND In this seminar, researchers from RAND and the Department of Energy explore two new possible sources of energy, methane hydrates and hydrogen, both relatively untapped abundant supplies. The seminar examines the research to-date and explains their potential benefits. Pointing out the difficulties in extracting and storing these resources cheaply and safely, the seminar outlines some breakthroughs necessary for these substances to be considered economically viable sources of energy. | |||||||||||||||
