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.
Panel Moderator Tony Cheetham is Director for the International Center
for Materials Research, UC Santa Barbara. Other panelists include Shuji
Nakamura, UCSB Professor and winner of Finland’s 2006 Millennium
Technology Prize for his continuing efforts to make cheaper and more
efficient light sources; Matthew Tirrell, Dean of Engineering at UCSB
and the Richard A. Auhil Professor in Chemical Engineering with a joint
appointment in Materials; and Ernst vn Weizsäcker, Dean of UCSB’s
Bren School, former President of the Wuppertal Institute and Chairman
of the Bundestag’s Environment Committee.
