What Is Our Energy Future?

Sun, 13 May 2012 12:52:10 CDTViewed: 6 times.

Global energy consumption will double by mid-century, regardless of what the United States does. It?s not from the 1 billion people already using vast amounts of electricity, or the 1 billion using modest amounts of electricity. It results from the 1.6 billion people that do not have any access to electricity whatsoever, the 2.4 billion that have almost no access to electricity and still burn wood and manure as their main source of energy, and the 3 billion new people that will be born by mid-century who will need electricity.

Prices initially dropped largely because of a glut in supply, as new horizontal drilling techniques allowed firms to reach previously inaccessible

We sat down for an exclusive interview with U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who shared his thoughts on the current state of supercomputing. The Nobel Prize-winning scientist is betting that these super machines will play a key role in designing new products and solving longstanding energy challenges: from better engines to advanced nuclear reactors. He's backing his bet with significant resources, offering some of the Department's world-leading supercomputers for use by industry leaders.
