  33. Where do we go from here?

  34. What are the two most critical technological problems facing the United States and the World?

  35. E2 = C

  36. Energy and the Environment =’s Civilization

  37. Energy Facts • The U.S. spends over $500 billion dollars annually on energy. • Oil imports account for 55 percent of total U.S. consumption, up from 42 percent in 1990. • Energy demand is projected to rise by over 30 percent by 2020, much faster than the projected increase in domestic energy production.

  38. U.S. National Energy Policy Key goals of the recent U.S. Department of Energy Comprehensive Energy Strategy include: • Diversify America’s energy supply by: • Promoting alternate and renewable sources of energy • Encouraging the expansion of nuclear energy in a safe and secure manner • Increasing domestic production of conventional fuels, and • Investing in science and technology. • Modernize the electric power infrastructure • Expand strategic petroleum reserves

  39. We are part of the solution!

  40. Our University is uniquely qualified to tackle these critically important technological issues. • Our research areas include all phases of the energy supply and demand system: • Transportation and transportation fuels • Nuclear energy • Energy production from clean coal, biomass, unconventional oil and natural gas, wind, and the sun

  41. We are the only University in the United States that has over 90% of its student body majoring in engineering, the sciences, mathematics, or business. • We are the only University in the United States that has 16 different engineering bachelor degree programs. • We are the only University in the United States that offers degree programs in Environmental Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geology and Geophysics, Mining Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering.
