DESCRIPTION:The Stanford Building Decarbonization Learning Accelerator (BDL
 A) hosts workshops for professors who are interested in incorporating the 
 BDLA teaching materials into their existing curriculum or developing a new
  building decarbonization course.\n\nGlobal warming\, air pollution\, and 
 energy insecurity are three of the most significant problems facing the wo
 rld today. This talk discusses the development of technical and economic r
 oadmaps to solve these problems across 149 countries and all 50 states\, i
 ncluding California. The solution is to electrify buildings\, transportati
 on\, and industry and provide the electricity with 100% clean\, renewable 
 wind\, water\, and solar (WWS) sources and storage. This talk also discuss
 es technologies already available to electrify buildings fully. It further
  discusses the electricity and heat generation technologies and the electr
 icity\, heat\, cold\, and hydrogen storage technologies needed for a trans
 ition\, including firebricks to store industrial process heat. It then eva
 luates methods of keeping the electric grid stable. Results indicate that 
 the grid can remain stable at low cost in each of 29 world regions encompa
 ssing 149 countries examined. Aside from mitigating global warming\, these
  roadmaps have the potential to eliminate over seven million air pollution
  deaths annually\, reduce international conflict over energy\, stabilize e
 nergy prices\, reduce catastrophic risk\, and create jobs. Finally\, the t
 alk discusses why policies that encourage carbon capture and direct air ca
 pture are opportunity costs that increase carbon dioxide\, air pollution\,
  fossil mining\, and fossil infrastructure and should be abandoned. Click
