Event Description

The conference investigated the potential for biofuels to contribute to U.S. energy security and highlighted the research and development of new technologies and scientific breakthroughs needed to make biofuels a viable alternative to oil based fuels. This conference also served as part of a broader campaign to reinvigorate public interest in the physical sciences. A bipartisan effort to address our energy security dilemma through revolutionary technologies could generate an excitement and idealism similar to the one that swept the nation -- and particularly our young people -- during the height of the space program in the 1960s and 1970s.
