Message from the Director
You should not miss the award winning Twenty First Annual Symposium on Energy in the 21st Century on April 4, 2025. This award winning Symposium will be bringing the most cutting edge information from state and national speakers about Large Scale Solar, Geothermal and Wind installations. Registration includes breakfast & lunch. There is an online option as well. There is limited space so register soon. Check out our fabulous speakers.
In the morning we will hear experts speak about solar farms, geothermal installations, and offshore and onshore wind farms. There will be a panel discussion with the speakers based on questions from those attending and online.
After a gourmet vegetarian buffet lunch, there will be, perhaps the most important discussion of this year, the future of the environmental movement and what can we do now. We are excited that Carl Pope, Senior Climate Advisor to Michael Bloomberg, is coming from San Francisco as the keynote speaker and this will be followed by a discussion by a panel of experts, consisting of leaders of the major environmental movements in New York State who will react to Carl’s presentation. The moderator will be Kit Kennedy, NRDC. See Program.
Be ready to hear the most important up to date information presented in a manner so that both professionals and non professionals can learn new information. Attendees at the Symposium include major corporate, environmental and labor leaders as well as interested private citizens, sustainability directors as well as college & graduate students, Mayors and researchers, college presidents as well as developers and workers – everyone will learn from the speakers and discussions. See comments.
I invite you to register now for this one of a kind Symposium. We will again be holding the event at the Gateway Building, SUNY ESF, in Syracuse. Because we cannot accommodate everyone interested, we will once again offer an excellent and realistic virtual Zoom option. Register now to secure a spot. This is an event you should not miss.
Our loyal and generous sponsors give us the ability to bring you this unique Symposium at a low cost, so do thank them!
PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A SPONSOR OR PATRON. Energy21, the parent organization for the Symposium, also holds free well attended informationals about specific issues, drawing expert speakers. We also send a bi-monthly newsletter with important updates. If interested in receiving the newsletter, or to be a sponsor, please email Rhea Jezer.

FEATURED SPEAKERS
“Climate change is impacting all aspects of life across the globe. Critical discussions about how to transition to more renewable energy sources and a low carbon economy must happen at all levels of government in collaboration with stakeholders.
The Annual Symposium on Energy in the 21st Century is a critical forum that brings together scientists, climate activists and policy makers for these discussions. I strongly support the continuance of the symposium, the work of Dr. Rhea Jezer and the positive, important results it generates. By working together, we’ll find solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change and position NY for the future.”
