  1. STIP: Why are we here? How are we doing? Jeffrey Salmon Deputy Director for Resource Management Office of Science 2012 STIP Conference August, GA April 17, 2012

  2. Why are we here? • DOE is a science and technology agency. • If science and technology are part of the solution to energy challenges, DOE is a core contributor. • Can we hide our light under a basket? • Yes we can! • Should we?

  5. Energy Basics…

  6. MYTH: A New Manhattan Project will Find a Solution to our Energy Challenge

  7. The Manhattan Project was an Engineering Challenge The Manhattan Project: Making the Atomic Bomb By F. G. Gosling. Pg. 54

  8. Edison Didn’t Invent the Light Bulb by Making Incremental Improvements on the Candle… Henry Ford Didn’t Invent the Car by Making Incremental Improvements on the Horse…

  9. How Are We Doing? STIP Overall Submissions
