Energy Week at Penn 2025
Energy Week at Penn 2025 took us all around campus to learn about energy research from a variety of disciplines. Explore event recordings and revisit the events.
This February, the Kleinman Center and Vagelos Institute for Energy Science and Technology hosted our fifth annual week of energy-focused events across campus. Our event lineup explored tradeoffs in land use for renewable energy, the role of the federal government in clean energy, conservatives’ role in addressing climate change, and more.
