Is Energy Independence Possible During Our Lifetime?

A Forum on New Energy, Sponsored by Arizona State University and New America

The promise of abundant, clean, renewable energy is now facing the reality of markets, technology limitations, and a disjointed policy environment. Can we scale existing or near term technologies to meet even a small fraction of our domestic electrical and liquid fuel needs? What are the revolutionary ideas on the horizon that have a chance of turning the hype into reality?
