MIT Seeks To Put a Charge Into Its Energy Program

From then Boston Globe:

The program is the first big initiative by MIT's new president, Susan Hockfield, who formally took office last month. It comes at a time when energy demand and consumption are surging globally as China, India, and other developing countries build industrial economies.

Under the program, MIT initially would invest about $10 million to hire five faculty members, set up energy labs, and expand existing research in fields such as nuclear power, clean coal, and photovoltaics.
