<blockquote type="cite" cite>The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) will
support several full-time energy UROPs during Summer 2011.&nbsp;
Undergraduate research topics may address any aspect of energy systems
and related environmental challenges, such as energy sources and
supply (solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear, fossil fuel, etc);
conversion, storage and distribution; technology and use
(transportation, buildings, etc); policy; efficiency and demand-side
management; and campus energy management.</blockquote>
