DESCRIPTION:Winton teatime discussion hosted by Prof David MacKay and Prof
 essor David Cahen\, who is The Rowland and Sylvia Schaefer Chair in Energy
  Research in the Department of Materials and Interfaces at the Weizmann In
 stitute of Science. \n\nIn this discussion he will introduce work he perfo
 rmed with Prof. Igor Lubomirski of the Weizmann Institute of Science.\n\nA
 bstract:\nRapidly occurring changes in energy availability lead to the tit
 le question. Although the commonly perceived answer is yes\, we look at th
 e issue because of two issues: a) which amounts of energy or major materia
 ls‘ types can be diverted from one to the other to allow changes to new 
 energy sources\, without disrupting our daily life\; b) can we supply the 
 quantities of materials\, required to transition to new energy sources esp
 . if are these byproducts of large scale production cycles? Both issues ne
 ed to be considered when changes in the energy-materials production/consum
 ption are planned to prevent major disruptions in living standards.\n\n
