Residents here enjoy the sun sea and sand seemingly unperturbed by the Nuclear Power plant in the distance. Will move through to nowhere used to it. I think its not been there for ages. The factory there was built in 1964 for the Nuclear Plants been there since the 1970 s. So were used to it but you. Also show naval base nearby. Where theres Nuclear Vessels and. Its normal for us is its part of our culture mood. Nuclear power it is part of french culture why are the french so blase about it opposite the film and the plant is another local landmark the nuclear fuel reprocessing facility. For many the french love affair with Nuclear Power is hard to fathom here on the Atlantic Coast in northern france we began a journey through the country on a quest to get to the bottom of it it took us almost a year to secure all the filming permits we needed to we had to pass through strict security controls and wear special protective clothing we were repeatedly assured that it was all perfectly safe

Oversight of the department of Energy Research and development enterprise. Welcome, mr. Secretary. Were delighted youre here today. This committee has jurisdiction over the department of energys vitally important science and Energy Research and development activities. The laboratories and facilities so i hope we see you much more frequently from now on, and i look forward to working with you throughout this congress. With the budget season mostly behind us, id like to bring just a few minutes and a few items to your attention. Ill start with the good news which is that despite the administrations best effort to make draconian cuts across the board to deo research and Development Programs, most actually fared well in the house of representatives. Im particularly pleased to see the increases to the budget for arpae and the long Programs Office both of which have yielded truly transformative results for Energy Technologies of all types. Im also quite happy that the house supported a subst
Test. Test. Test. And part of that reason is because of the research that is going on at our National Labs. And im going to, again, ask paul to share with you, just because hes fresh out of seeing some of this and has to do with the Battery Storage. And the progress being made on Battery Storage is really fascinating. And ive always said that Battery Storage is the holy grail. If were able to get to that point where we can use our renewables, solar and wind in particular to power these batteries that have long time storage, and what were finding now is that the the elements that are being used to create some of these batteries are not Rare Earth Minerals and theyre elements that we have right here in the United States, so were going to be in control of our future substantially more on the Battery Storage if you just kind of give them a glimpse of whats going on here and i think thats pretty exciting stuff. So a couple of examples, the complex, r d business, beyond lithium ion batteries
A curious public. Call us franks a superstar in the field of cosmology he believes in building bridges between science and society being selected to see where there our society is one of the greatest honors scientists can have because you give them the opportunity to communicate their results of their research to the public at large is not the point making the great discovery everything science if only you and your friends know about it. This year 250 scientists are showcasing Cutting Edge Research including plans to build a new generation of skyscrapers from wood these are the towers of tomorrow made from gluing lerer polarised timber together. Every time the word old 1. 00 tons of Carbon Dioxide in a. Building cities out of wooden buildings is a way to store that carbon for a long long time and if you wondering the wood specially treated it configured to make you fireproof. As science advances a growing number of people fear losing their autonomy to Technology Driverless cars a recen
