Energy reporter speaks at UW Oct. 2

New York Times reporter Matthew L. Wald will visit the University of Wyoming in Laramie next week to talk about global energy issues.

Wald will present "The Energy Race: We have too much carbon, not enoughpetroleum and a vampire sucking juice from every outlet. What do we do?" from 4-5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2, in the Wyoming Union Yellowstone ballroom. A question-and-answer session and reception follows Wald's lecture.

Wald has covered energy issues for The New York Times since the oil crisis of 1979 (remember that one?). He has written extensively about ethanol, hydrogen and other alternative technologies and fuels.
