Former U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz will explore the role of energy innovation in the post-pandemic economic recovery, and the dual challenge of increasing access to energy while reducing the sector's environmental impact. Moniz will be interviewed by Arun Majumdar and Sally Benson, co-directors of Stanford's Precourt Institute for Energy.
Two months into the COVID-19 pandemic, we see curves flattening and cities lifting shelter restrictions. By no means is this pandemic over; and yet, policymakers, researchers, medical practitioners, and industry are starting to grapple with how we operate in a post-COVID world. What is the path forward, economically, medically, and culturally?
