SUMMARY:Penn Climate Seminar: Shelley Welton
DESCRIPTION:Join Penn Climate for a discussion by Shelley Welton titled “New Experiments in Public Power.”\n\n\nPenn Climate welcomes Shelley Welton\, Presidential Distinguished Professor of Law and Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy\, for a seminar titled “New Experiments in Public Power.” \nIn leading jurisdictions\, the “easy” part of the clean energy transition has been achieved. What remains to be accomplished—constructing energy systems that emit no carbon\, rather than just substantially less carbon—will be harder and more expensive. In recognition of these challenges\, both New York State and the United Kingdom recently passed laws creating state-owned clean energy companies: New York by giving a new mission to its “New York Power Authority\,” and the UK by creating “Great British Energy.” \nProponents of these new state-owned clean energy entities hope that they might deliver the energy transition more affordably\, fairly\, and quickly than privately owned counterparts. Critics suggest that they are a distraction from solutions capable of mobilizing and deploying private finance at necessary scales. This presentation will discuss and assess these new public power entities\, considering their theory\, politics\, and promise alongside their early implementation challenges and limits.

SUMMARY:Philadelphia After Dark: Designing a City That Works 24/7
DESCRIPTION:As Philadelphia gears up for 2026\, Raheem Manning explores planning\, design\, and nightlife policy shaping a safe\, inclusive 24-hour city.\n\n\nAs Philadelphia prepares for an unprecedented moment in 2026—welcoming the FIFA World Cup\, America’s 250th anniversary\, and other global events—the city is actively rethinking what it means to function as a true 24-hour city. This presentation will explore how nightlife\, culture\, design\, and public policy intersect to shape a safe\, vibrant\, and economically inclusive nighttime environment. \nDrawing from Philadelphia’s Nighttime Economy strategy\, the talk will highlight how intentional planning\, cross-sector collaboration\, and thoughtful design can support businesses\, residents\, and visitors after dark. The discussion will also touch on how architects\, planners\, and creatives play a critical role in shaping spaces that balance energy\, safety\, and quality of life—ensuring that the city doesn’t just shine during major moments\, but functions better every night. \n \nThis event will be held at the Philadelphia Ethical Society\, 1906 Rittenhouse Square\, Philadelphia\, PA 19103. \nRegistration is not required for in-person events\, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served. \nFor more info\, please CLICK HERE!
