We've just launched a new webcast series focusing on issues and concerns that transcend national boundaries. The O'Reilly Radar Global Issues Webcast Series will feature scientists, technologists, and other thought leaders seeking to inform and engage O'Reilly's audience about the most pressing issues of the day, including energy, climate, the environment, and globalization. The series, offered free of charge, is designed to educate as well as involve the audience in an ongoing discussion about these topics. Kicking off the series is "Energy Literacy" presented by Dr. Saul Griffith, on Wednesday, August 26 at 10am PT. Griffith has multiple degrees in materials science and mechanical engineering, and is the co-founder of numerous companies, including WattzOn, a free online tool to quantify, track, compare and understand the total amount of energy needed to support all of the facets of your lifestyle. Registration is required in advance. To register, go to: http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zvtbpcej59r4tq2u68ppr48tkg10noqc09f93dkg On September 3, Prof. Per F. Peterson, chair of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, will present "Nuclear Energy: Future Directions." Peterson's talk will cover the current status of nuclear energy, and review the potential directions the technology may go in the future. Other speakers in the series include Dr. S. Pete Worden, NASA Ames Research Center Director and Sameer Padania, Hub Manager for Witness.org.

Attendees view the live presentations via their computers and are encouraged to share comments, questions, and resources through the event chat room while the event takes place. "Our webcasts typically attract a global audience. It's not unusual to host participants from thirty countries or more," says Allen Noren, O'Reilly's vice president of online initiatives. "Each webcast generates an explosion of creative participation, much like our conferences. We fully expect that attendees of this series will be informed, and we fully expect to see solutions offered."
