"We essentially need a second Industrial Revolution that can generate lots of energy cleanly, cheaply, and sustainably." While Chu’s team is primed to tackle some hurdles to alternative energy innovation, such as shifting investment priorities towards renewables research and development, and improving the nation’s electricity grid to match up new sources of energy—like solar and wind—with areas of high demand, the largest barrier to the large-scale deployment of renewables remains stubbornly in the way. » Read more...
