| Speaking to UC Irvine student chapter of AIChE in 2013 |
For groups who want a polished, professional and
entertaining public speaker, I am available to speak on a variety of
topics. I have made many speeches over
the past few years, with 21 speeches at the last count. Topics include climate change and the law,
energy policy, refining, engineering, process safety, intellectual property,
and construction law. Audiences include
professional groups, a law school symposium, industry groups, civic groups,
student groups, and private industry. Speeches last from 20 minutes to 2 hours,
depending on the host group’s needs and the time available.
My background is a practicing and consulting process engineer in
the continuous process industries for more than 20 years world-wide, including
oil refining, petrochemicals, basic chemicals, and power generation. Following my engineering career, I studied
law and now practice in science and technology law.
Typical comments on my speeches include:
“Mr. Sowell is one of the best speakers we have had” – Alan Benson,
President of Southern California Section, American Institute of Chemical
Engineers. I have been invited to speak 8 times in the past 9 years.
“Outstanding speaker.
I wish you were a professor here and we could take your class” – student
in chemical engineering at University of California, Irvine, in 2013. UCI invited me to speak 3 times in the past 2
years.
"This information is vitally important, and you should present this to every member of Congress and the Senate," -- Paul Helfrey, PE in Chemical Engineering, member Southern California Section AIChE, on the Warmists are Wrong, Cooling is Coming speech.
