| Faced with the issue of providing clean, secure and sustainable energy that is essential to maintaining our social and economic well being, many argue that the U.S. and other developed countries should be pursuing options more aggressively. There are many reasons why a transition from our current hydrocarbon-based energy supply system is needed for the long term. While renewable energy systems from solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydro sources offer the potential for achieving a more sustainable system, the transition to a renewable energy future has been painfully slow. This seminar will examine both the context and options for accelerating such a change. Two specific examples will be explored in detail: 1. geothermal energy for electricity and heat and 2. biomass for transportation fuels. |
