Some of my favorite web sites and resources, organized
by area:
Renewable Energy, Climate
Change, and the real energy crisis
Important - Really...
If you don't read anything else,
read the following report's
2 page summary of our global energy resources--if only
the nation could just agree that it is the best science we
have and get to work....
Basic Research Needs for Solar Energy Utilization
This report is based on a BES Workshop on
Solar Energy Utilization on April 18–21, 2005, to
examine the challenges and opportunities for the
development of solar energy as a competitive energy
source and to identify the technical barriers to
large-scale implementation of solar energy and the
basic research directions showing promise to
overcome them. (more)
This
commencement speech, by the Department of Energy's
Top Scientist, is nothing short of amazing given
that he lays out the best understanding we have
about our energy needs while working for an
administration that seems to discourage scientific
truth telling--actually this is a bit of counter
evidence....
This is another wonderful overview by a
highly respected scientist, along with a great
PowerPoint presentation and even streaming video of
the presentation available--watch it!
