'A Tale of Two Cities' : The transition of the electricity sector
No full textThere is no doubt that the issue of environment has become one of the most important
of our generation. Whether people contest global warming with passion or want to preserve
planet Earth with the most radical methods, the issue generates ardent debates that leave no
one indifferent. After having spent nearly four years at the International Energy Agency in
Paris, Ralph E. H. Sims has recently returned to his position as Professor of Sustainable
Energy and Director of the Centre for Energy Research at Massey University in New Zealand.
He is also an IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Co-ordinating Lead Author for
several IPCC reports covering energy supply, integration and transport. In an essay based on
a solid knowledge of the environmental issues and written with a dose of imagination and a
touch of humour, he offers his perspectives on a rather dark future for those who prefer the
status quo and a brighter one for those who defend a vigorous action in favour of the
environment.Incontestablement, l’enjeu de l’environnement s’est imposé comme l’un des plus
importants de notre génération : que l’on défende avec force les méthodes les plus radicales
pour préserver la planète ou que l’on conteste avec véhémence le réchauffement climatique,
le sujet suscite des débats passionnés et ne laisse, des citoyens aux dirigeants, personne
indifférent. Après avoir passé près de quatre ans à l’Agence internationale de l’énergie à
Paris, Ralph E. H. Sims a retrouvé récemment son poste de professeur spécialiste des
énergies renouvelables et directeur du Centre pour la Recherche sur l’énergie à l’université
Massey de Nouvelle-Zélande. Il est également un auteur/coordonateur de plusieurs rapports
pour le Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC). Dans un
essai-fiction reposant sur une connaissance précise des enjeux et écrit avec une dose
d’imagination et un zeste d’humour, il offre ses perspectives sur le futur auquel
sembleraient se condamner les partisans du statu quo et le chemin qui pourrait s’ouvrir
devant les tenants d’une action plus vigoureuse en faveur de l’environnement

Life History of Ralph W. Spitzer
Get PDFA detailed biographical sketch of Ralph W. Spitzer (b. 1918), a graduate student of Linus Pauling's and promising academic who joined the Oregon State College chemistry department in 1946. Promoted to Assistant Professor in 1947, Spitzer was nonetheless fired from the OSC faculty in 1949 by President August L. Strand, almost certainly because of progressive political views espoused by Spitzer and his wife Teresa. Spitzer eventually matriculated to Canada where he earned an M.D. specializing in chemical pathology and co-founded a successful diagnostic laboratory firm, C.J. Coady Associates.
The paper is based upon a series of oral history interviews conducted by the author with Ralph Spitzer, his daughter Eloise Spitzer, and his wife Hisako Kurotaki
