Emerging Energy Technologies Summit 2007
Session One
Carbon-based Fuels
Severin Borenstein • Stephen J. Golden • Amory Bloch Lovins
To take an unbiased look at how our nation makes the transition from dependency on carbon-based fuels to a sustainable, alternative fuels-based future was this summit’s mission; as well as to present current and emerging energy technologies for short- and long-term solutions to world needs, with additional focus on the socio-economic and political factors which enable or obstruct their adoption. Experts from around the globe came together to seek alternative energy solutions, examine the trade-offs and barriers associated with marketability, and to grapple with related issues. Severin Borenstein, Director, University of California Energy Institute, and E. T. Grether Professor of Business Administration and Public Policy in the Economic Analysis and Policy Group of the Haas School of Business, U. C. Berkeley, speaks on No End to Fossil Fuels: Why Renewables Lose without Policy Intervention. Stephen J. Golden, Chief Technology Officer, Catalytic Solutions, Inc., addresses Current and Extended Use of Oil and Gas: Technical and Environmental Aspects. Dr. Golden has extensive technical industry experience. Amory Bloch Lovins, author, Winning the Oil Endgame, presents Profitable Solutions to the Climate (and Oil and Proliferation) Problems. He is also CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute.Program recording date & length: 2-9-07 • 1 Hour 24 Minutes
