The  World's Energy Problem and What We Can Do About It 
April  16, 2008 - 7:30PM 
Among  the world's most serious concerns are national security, which is tied 
to energy  security, economic prosperity, and the social, and the potentially 
dire risks of  climate change. At the core of these problems is need for 
sustainable creation  and consumption of energy. Government policies are needed to 
accelerate the  deployment of energy efficiencies and conservation and 
stimulate the innovation  of new technologies. We also need new scientific 
discoveries that can transform  the entire landscape of energy demand and supply. After 
briefly describing  aspects of the energy problem, the remainder of the talk 
will describe some  areas of research that may lead to transformative 
technologies.   
LOCATION: Rockefeller, Schwartz Auditorium   
SPEAKER: Dr. Steven Chu, Director, Lawrence Berkeley National  Laboratory  
ADMISSION: Open to Public, Alumni, Students, Faculty,  and Staff.
