...The point is that I am confident we can solve this problem. But it will take revolutionary breakthroughs in physical sciences and engineering, fields that we haven't been emphasizing enough in the past couple of decades, particularly in the United States. And when you look at the sort of breakthroughs that are going to be necessary, you'll realize that most of them fit in the broad definition of nanotechnology. In order to make these breakthroughs happen, we will need to take this problem much more seriously than we have so far for any project we've confronted in this country since the Apollo project ( the result of Sputnik and the Cold War in the late 50s and 60s).

The problem is huge. When you think about the consequences of seriously addressing this problem, and particularly what the consequences will be with even a near success, it is a magnificent opportunity. The largest industry in the world (energy) will be transformed.
