这是University of Michigan-Ann Arbor 组织的两天能源会议：能源科学、技术和政策：面临的挑战。
虽然会议主题跟化学不怎么搭边，我还是去听了一天半的报告，感触很深。最重要的一点是，作为一个大学，研究型大学如何在事关国计民生事情上，先走一步。看上去只是纯学术的东西，但由学术所引发的后续做法却是我们所看不到的。
听这样的报告，让我联想到的是如何从化学角度去思考能源问题。简单点说，能源就是化学键的断裂和重新形成。这么简单的事情却是关系到人类生存发展和未来。而且，简单却最不好做，毕竟科技发展还没先进到那个地步。
废话少数。
下面是symposium的内容，包括录像。keynote speaker是美国能源部长Samuel W. Bodman。

Facing the Energy Challenge Symposium
There are few contemporary challenges facing humankind today more threatening than the unsustainable nature of our current energy infrastructure. Every aspect of present-day society is dependent upon the continuing availability of clean, affordable, and flexible energy resources.
In response to these challenges, the University of Michigan has set forth an Initiative on Energy Science, Technology, and Policy and established the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Energy Institute.
This two day symposium, organized by the Office of the Vie President of Research and the MMPEI, brings together many influential people from government, industry and academia to present their views on science, technology and policy topics in the energy field.
