Lecture<br />

Powering the Planet in a Carbon Constrained World<br />

One of the key elements required for lifting people out of poverty and for solving some of the world’s most vexing problems is<br />

access to plentiful, inexpensive energy. This lecture addresses how we use energy and what technologies are being developed at<br />

Notre Dame and elsewhere to do so in a responsible manner.<br />
