  1. OUR ENERGY DILEMMA • The combination of •  Population growth •  Rampant consumerism •  Environmental degradation • threatens the livelihood of the “have nots” today and increasingly threatens the livelihood of the “haves.” • The disparity between the life of the poor and that of the rich • Fuels a rage that is finding its voice or a despair that is finding its feet. • Breeds volunteers for the struggle against • the vulnerabilities of the “haves.”

  2. US VULNERABILITIES • Porous borders • Dependence on foreign oil  CO2 emissions – global warming • Internal combustion engine = distributed CO2 emissions • Alternative energy sources, viz. solar, wind, and nuclear energy, require associated energy storage. • Can electrochemical energy storage meet this requirement? Batteries vs Fuel Cells. • Electric vehicles would eliminate distributed CO2 emissions. • Can electrochemical energy stored during • off-peak power enable the plug-in hybrid or • the all-electric vehicle?

  3. BACKGROUND • Factual Document •  Applications: Transportation • Stationary storage • Portable power •  Rechargeable Batteries: Comparisons •  Electrochemical Capacitors • Morning Speakers • Address these issues • Purpose of Workshop • To identify Priority Research Directions (PRDs) to enable targets identified by Applications.
