Powering the Planet Sustainably

Last night HMC hosted the first of the Nelson Speaker Series for the fall with the theme of Powering the Planet Sustainably. Nate Lewis of CalTech spoke about the need for energy to meet the world's growing needs and outlined the problems and pros of all the various sources that we know about.

Lewis has given this talk about 500 times, and is an excellent speaker who kept us awake with jokes and lots of information. You can go to his website at Caltech and see this talk (the one on the right called Caltech Watson Lecture Series).
