Even with gas prices lowering and remaining somewhat stable recently, energy and sustainability are still at the forefront of national and global dialogues. With that in mind, Energy Futures Week took place January 12 through January 15, and was sponsored by the MIT Energy Initiative. For those interested in learning more about the practical application of sustainability done here at MIT or those wanting to know more about the burgeoning energy job sector, there was something for everyone who interested in energy and sustainability.
