F1.00001: Town Hall: What Can Physicists Do to Help Solve the Energy-Climate Problem? There is broad - if not quite unanimous - agreement in the scientific community that increasing demands for energy threaten to bring significant global warming with potentially devastating consequences. What can physicists do to help solve the energy-climate problem? The meeting will serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas among experts in energy and climate policy and research. It will feature remarks by a distinguished slate of guest panelists, followed by panel and community debate moderated by Dick Meserve (Carnegie Institution). The Town Hall panelist remarks will include discussion of: - Climate Issues, as represented by Margaret Leinen (Climate Response Fund); - Energy Efficiency, as represented by Pat Dehmer (DOE); - Future Renewables and Batteries Prospects, as represented by Richard Colton (NRL); - Nuclear: Fission \& Fusion Solutions, as represented by Robert Rosner (Argonne); - APS Perspective, as represented by Burt Richter (Chair, APS Energy Study) [Preview Abstract] |
