Abstract: | The presentation was made at IEEE PES 2011 General Meeting Super Sessions in July, 2011. The presentation shows the history of energy innovation. The plan for a sustainable energy future includes the following: 1) Conserve through aggressive energy efficiency; 2) Optimize traditional energy supplies; 3) Accelerate development of alternatives; 4) Transition to a low-carbon economy. Sustainability is “the capacity to endure” *not just business continuity, integration of economic, social and environmental spheres (triple bottom line) to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
