Energy drives every aspect of our human existence

Energy fuels our commerce, our transportation, our homes, and our lives. Currently, the vast majority of it is sourced from fossil fuels, e.g. natural gas, coal, and oil. Both common sense and science dictate that we must change our dependency on fossil fuels. From the looming dilemma of worldwide oil depletion to the growing urgency of addressing global warming, all signs point to an energy future which is drastically different from the status quo.
