Speakers Bureau: Power Sources for the Future

Argonne speaking topics related to energy sources include:

Green Energy: From Petroleum Alternatives to the Atom – A look at the need for new renewable resources and environmentally friendly sources of energy. Such sources range from new technologies, like fuel cells, to old ones that have been updated, like nuclear power. (Different speakers may concentrate on different aspects of this topic.)

Power for Home and Business – The whys and hows of effective and efficient energy generation, from electricity to fossil fuels.

Nuclear Power

• The Greenest of All? – Discussion of the issues surrounding nuclear power and how it works, including a look at safety, and why nuclear may be the greenest energy source of all.
• The Energy Amplifier – Scientists have proposed using an accelerator to drive a sub-critical reactor to produce power that is clean, safe and proliferation proof.

Cleaner Engines/Cleaner Fuels – A look at technological improvements that make engines, power trains, and fuels both cleaner and more efficient.

Critical Infrastructure – Our ever more complex world depends on roads, power grids, gas lines, transportation, health care, financial and communications systems. When these systems have problems, we all feel them, like losses of electrical power and increases in gasoline and heating oil prices. Which systems are most important and how do we keep them running? Issues include security, deregulation, and reliability.
