Colloquium - Wolfgang Bauer (Michigan State University) - Renewable Energy - A Physics Perspective
Humans currently consume ~16 TW of power, 4/5th of which are generated by burning fossil fuels. Pollution of the biosphere and global warming are direct consequences and represent unsustainable outcomes. I will discuss how we can replace this fossil-based power production by renewable resources (solar, wind, geo-thermal, bio-mass, …), and how physicists can lead the way.
