Science / Technology - Colloquium
Friday, January 23, 2009
4:00 PM-5:00 PM
Olin Hall

Today, we can usefully consume all of the little solar, wind, and other renewable energy we produce. But for total energy production to shift significantly toward inherently unpredictable renewables, energy must be stored when available and recovered when needed else precious renewable energy sources will stand idle. This lecture will present an overview of the science of energy storage and new nanotechnology approaches to it. The science will take time to mature, but with legislative and economic shelters to nurture it, effective distributed electrical energy storage solutions can be found before the need is urgent
