... when asked at a 2001 news conference whether Americans needed to do anything about our high energy consumption, Bush's then-spokesman, Ari Fleischer, said, "The president believes that it's an American way of life, and that it should be the goal of policy makers to protect the American way of life."

5. Solar Thermochemical Splitting of Water: Friday, Feb 24, 1:00
Theory, Application, and Materials Research Opportunities
Prof. Alan Weimer
Professor of Chemical Engineering
University of Colorado
www.ALDNanoSolutions.com
Friday, February 24
12: 00 – 1:00pm
Building 550 (Peterson Lab)
Room 550A, 1st Floor (enter through door facing Mitchell Building and Lomita Mall)
Reception to follow
Directions: http://gcep.stanford.edu/events/seminar_directions.html
All are welcome to meet Prof. Weimer following the seminar in the GCEP Conference Room, 555J (upstairs on 2nd Floor).
***Refreshments will be served.***
Abstract:
Solar thermochemical processing provides an opportunity to split water with efficiencies of 18% to 24%, as compared to 6% to 8% for typical photovoltaic/electrolytic processing. For the past 10 years, Prof. Weimer has been using concentrated sunlight to drive ultra-high temperature chemical reactions to completion. Primary engineering challenges limiting extensive application revolve around solving materials problems. In this talk, Prof. Weimer will review his research program and provide an opportunity map for materials research that is needed to achieve the long-term goal to split water efficiently and cleanly.
