"Matt Rogers is a great example of the caliber of speakers who speak at our Executive Speakers Series. He learned to ask someone who knew the answer, rather than pretend he knew. “I didn’t make it into the top five of the smartest people in the room. He spoke about working in the Obama administration. Unfortunately, this doesn't match the product cycle and how quickly it changes.” “You used to be able to make a decision in the energy industry within two or three years of study on an issue. He recommended graduate students surround themselves by people who know more than they do, especially millennials. In order to be successful in the energy sector, Rogers said you have to be prepared for rates of change that you weren't trained at when you started. Rogers summarized the main takeaways from his book, including the principle of how industrial technology meets information technology and how that changes everything for the energy sector. In his book, he asks the question, “How do we get the next billion middle class people into low-cost energy?” There are another two billion people who don't have access and need access. "One of the great things of today is the availability of low-cost energy," said Rogers. He found energy fascinating from the beginning-an opportunity to learn about microeconomics and how it works-along with policy and regulations, which is what he has focused on since the beginning. How was I going to explain to investors that they wanted a nuclear power plant while Chernobyl is going?" said Rogers. "One of my first tasks was doing a sale lease, back on a nuclear power plant.

At the end of the program, they asked me what group I wanted to be a part of. “I ended up working on Wall Street, in a summer analyst program where they taught me the basics of accounting. "I had a really good roommate who explained to me before the interview what I was supposed to know," said Rogers. He did not know at the time what a management consultant or an investment bank was.

They explain that the combination of information technology with industrial technology is changing the way we produce and use natural resources, restructuring energy, agriculture, transportation, and construction markets. He and his co-author argue that the chance to meet soaring energy demand in a sustainable way-by transforming how companies and societies prosper-represents nothing less than the biggest business opportunity in one hundred years. Matt Rogers published the book Resource Revolution, with co-author Stefan Heck, in April 2014. The department funded more than 5,000 projects through the recovery act.

Revolution to Second of Arc Conversion Table For example, 1 second of arc is most often written as 1″. The second of arc is most commonly expressed using a double prime (″), though a double quote is often used as well. For example, 1 second of arc can be written as 1 arcsec or 1 asec. Seconds of arc can be abbreviated as arcsec, and are also sometimes abbreviated as asec. The second of arc is a unit of angle equal to 1/60th of one minute of arc or 1/3,600 of one degree.Ī second of arc is sometimes also referred to as an arc second or arcsecond.
