Café Scientifique is a forum where, for the price of a coffee or a glass of wine, adults can get together and talk about recent -- and sometimes controversial --developments in science and technology. The Canada Science and Technology Museum and its partner the Canadian Museum of Nature serve as moderators to the discussion between invited experts and the general public. Lively discussions guaranteed!
Until recently, Canadians have benefited from access to cheap, abundant energy. Are there energy-related problems on the horizon that could challenge the way we use energy? Discuss pollution, dwindling reserves, and rising costs of energy as we look at our energy consumption. From the environment to economics, what is your role?
