ARPA-E:
focus is on creative “out-of-the-box” transformational energy research
that industry by itself cannot or will not support due to its high risk but
where success would provide dramatic benefits for the nation
and this worked for most of the 20th century, but no longer can we make
these assumptions
Energy production and use are major contributors to global warming and related
climate change
