(00:05) - The Value and Importance of Fundamental Research in Energy
(44:57) - Clean, Affordable, Reliable, Resilient Electrical Systems of the Future
(1:47:32) - Powering US Industry for the Future
(2:40:04) - Observation on the US Energy Innovation System

Recent progress in energy technology research and development in the United States has been substantial-the past decade has seen dramatic reductions in the costs of emerging technologies alongside similar improvements in energy security and environmental performance. This golden age of domestic energy innovation has benefited Americans in areas throughout the economy. Today, US energy researchers in many sectors are envisioning ways in which continued R&D progress might enable revolutionary new options for domestic energy generation and use.

Former US Secretary of State and Hoover Institution Distinguished Fellow George P. Shultz, alongside scientists and engineers from two leading American research universities and DOE national labs, explore the potential for energy "game changers": inexpensive and abundant clean electricity production, affordable grid energy storage at scale, secure electrochemical fuel manufacturing, less intensive fossil energy  through through carbon capture, and more.
