PHYSICS COLLOQUIUM: Solving the Energy Crisis Without Coal and Nuclear Reactors
Description:
Speaker: Arjun Makhijani, IEER
Abstract: A fully renewable, reliable, and efficient energy system in the United States is technically and economically feasible. The transition can be completed in about in about 30 years. Nuclear power is neither needed nor desirable to go to a zero-CO2 emissions economy. The issues relating to intermittency of solar and wind can be overcome with available technology and the rapidly developing set of technologies and concepts that go under the smart grid rubric.
