Abstract:<br>
</div>
<div>The need for rational energy policy aimed at reducing oil use and
greenhouse gas emissions has become increasingly urgent. This
talk will delve into why the car of the future is not a fuel cell
vehicle and why the "fuel" of the future is electricity, not
hydrogen.</div>

<div>Biography:<br>
<br>
Dr. Joseph Romm has worked extensively on clean energy technologies,
both in and out of the government. He recently authored the
report, "The Car and Fuel of the Future: A Technology and Policy
Overview," for the National Commission on Energy Policy (July
2004) and "The Hype About Hydrogen: Fact and Fiction in the Race
to Save the Climate," named one of the best science and
technology books of 2004 by "Library Journal."<br>
</div>

Energy and Climate Solutions-a one stop shop helping businesses and
states adopt high-leverage strategies for saving energy and cutting

Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy during 1997 and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary from 1995
though 1998. He holds B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from
