Dr. Scott Tinker is a global energy explorer and educator. In his visits to some 65 countries, Scott experienced the extremes of poverty and wealth. Through interactions with prime ministers and students, industry leaders and academics, senators and citizens, he has grown to understand that solutions to many of the world’s great challenges lie at the intersection of energy, economy, and environment, a space he calls the “radical middle.”
Scott is an award-winning author and filmmaker, national public radio show host, endowed chair professor, state geologist, academic researcher and administrator, professional society leader, industry board member, government advisor, NGO Chairman, entrepreneur, and angel investor. Using his robust experience, he’s able to help audiences see through the haze of political energy rhetoric. A high-demand speaker, Scott has presented nearly 1000 times around the globe to audiences including the U.S. Senate, international students, corporate boards, high school teachers, and private C-suite dinners.
Several years ago Scott recognized that people were reading less, and watching film more. Through his partnership with Harry Lynch, a recognized documentary filmmaker, they have made two feature-length films (one on global energy and one on global energy poverty); produced a short format major museum film for IMAX screens; made several film series, Energy Primers, an energy lab aeries, an energy classroom for AP environmental high school students nationwide, and more. Through this medium, they have reached over 15 million people in 50 countries.
Dr. Tinker’s current board, councils and commissions include:
Academia
Federal and State Government

The world faces two important and interrelated challenges: affordable and reliable energy for all, and protecting the environment.
The energy-environment challenge is not simple, but it is solvable if we understand and address the complex fabric of energy security, scale of energy demand, physics of energy density, distribution of energy resources, interconnectedness of the land, air, water and atmosphere, and the extreme disparity in global wealth and economic health.
The truth is that there are no good and bad, clean and dirty, renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. They all have benefits, and they all have challenges. Climate change is an important issue, but it is not the only environmental issue. Solar and wind are important to low-carbon solutions, but they are only part of the solution. We must put our best minds to the task of addressing the dual challenge, working together to better the world.

We had a speaker cancel at the last-minute. Without missing a beat, The Keynote Curators offered several options to choose from. The replacement hit it out of the park. We avoided a potential disaster and looked good doing it. Thanks to The Keynote Curators.
