Slide4: 

Increased Use of Renewables Will Improve the Nation’s Energy Surety Energy Surety (safety, security and reliability) approach with a sustainability mindset is recommended Security includes environmental, political, economic as well as physical and cyber dimensions Renewable resources are located in areas of projected high population growth Solar (PV and dish engines) and wind are low water use electricity production options Storage technologies are key Technology innovation is required in many areas

The Nation and the World Deserve Better Solutions to Energy Challenges: 

The Nation and the World Deserve Better Solutions to Energy Challenges VISION Our energy systems are dynamically configured and utilized consistent with optimizing for resource, environment, security, economic and access constraints. Sustainability Normal Off Normal Emergency

Slide6: 

The Road To A Sustainable Future Requires New Technological Insight Today: Open Cycle Systems Near-Term: Closed Reversible Cycles Mid-Term: Closed Sustainable Cycles Far-Term: Fusion Wasted Wasted Wasted Stored Stored 2015 2004 2025 Useful Useful Useful 2050? Examples: H2 from Solar Hybrid Vehicles Heat and Electricity from Solar Example: Hydropower Vision: Bring Sun to the Earth Sustainable living energy infrastructure Non-equilibrium or irreversible thermodynamics Actual Desired

The Surety Approach for Solar Technologies: 

The Surety Approach for Solar Technologies Codes and Standards Conversion Optimization Manufacturing Advances Long-term Field Test Data Markets such as central and distributed electricity

Energy and Water are Inextricably Linked: 

Energy and Water are Inextricably Linked Energy production and generation require water Water pumping, treatment, and distribution require energy

Energy Requires Water:: 

Energy Requires Water: GALLONS PER PERSON PER DAY 510 for food production includes irrigation and livestock 465 to produce household electricity Range: 30 to 600 depending on technology 100 direct household use includes bathing, laundry, lawn watering, etc. Water required to produce household electricity exceeds direct household water use. Source: derived from Gleick, P. (2002), World's Water 2002-2003.

Water Requires Energy:: 

Water Requires Energy: Readily accessible water supplies have been harvested New technologies are required to reduce energy requirements to access non-traditional sources (e.g., impaired water, brackish water, or sea water) Treatment of future water supplies will be energy intensive.

The Supply and Use Picture Inspires Us to Innovate

We Believe That…: 

We Believe That… U.S. must improve its position with respect to: Supply (more indigenous fuel supplies from all domestic resources) Demand (more efficient use of those supplies) Environmental “footprint” (lowering the impact of the use of these fuel supplies) Future (planning for the long term, 50+ years) Our measure of success is: the invention/creation of technologies that increase the number of consumer-accepted choices for electricity and fuel.
