Meyer considers "Our Energy Future"

Director's Colloquium today

The status of current research in carbon dioxide capture and storage will be discussed by Tom Meyer, associate director for strategic research (ADSR) in a Director's Colloquium today at the Laboratory.

Meyer also will talk about hydrogen and fuel cells, nuclear energy, high temperature superconductivity and critical infrastructure analysis at the Laboratory. Meyer's talk, entitled "Our Energy Future," is at 1:10 p.m., in the Physics Building Auditorium at Technical Area 3.

Energy is a crucial factor in virtually all aspects of our daily lives. It represents about 7 percent of the country's gross domestic product. More than one-third of all of the primary energy consumed by the United States today goes into producing and delivering electricity. This critical need makes energy a relevant focus for national security science.

The colloquium is open to all Laboratory workers. It also can be viewed live on Labnet Channel 9 and on desktop computers using Real Media and IPTV technology.
