SUMMARY:Science Public Lecture Series - Energy for 1 x 6 Billion
DESCRIPTION:<div>The Science Public Lecture Series presents <a href="http://nocera.harvard.edu/Home" data-url="http://nocera.harvard.edu/Home">Daniel Nocera</a>, Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy, Harvard University</div><div><a href="https://www.physics.harvard.edu/node/595" data-url="https://www.physics.harvard.edu/node/595">Energy for 1 x 6 Billion</a></div><div>The capture and storage of solar energy at the individual level - personalized solar energy - drives inextricably towards the heart of this energy challenge by addressing the triumvirate of secure, carbon neutral and plentiful energy. Because energy use scales with wealth, point-of-use solar energy will put individuals, in the smallest village in the non-legacy world and in the largest city of the legacy world, on a more level playing field. Moreover, personalized energy (PE) is secure because it is highly distributed and the individual controls the energy on which she/he lives. Finally, the doubling of global energy need by mid-century and tripling by 2100 is driven by three billion low-energy users in the non-legacy world and by three billion people yet to inhabit the planet over the next half century. By developing an inexpensive 24/7 solar energy system for the individual, a carbon-neutral energy supply for 1 × 6 billion becomes available.</div>
