Energy is the defining challengeof our time

• 

The major driver for –  Climate change

 – 

National security

 – 

Economic competitiveness

 –  Quality of life

• 

Incremental changes to existingtechnologies cannot meet this challenge

 –  Transformational advancesin energy technologiesare needed

 – 

Critically dependent on the bestscience and technology

Global energy consumption

will increase 50 by 2030
