The need for long-term clean power will be a controversial but necessary issue in the twenty-first cen-tuity. The debate will focus on the deregulation of the power industity and the needs of consumers, coupled with what is best for the environment. For certain applications, solar technology has proven to be efficient and reliable. The question remains whether solar will be wholly embraced as energy options for a sustainable future m a climate of cheap fossil fuels and less than enthusiastic public support. 

Chemistry s relationship to the public is unique among the sciences. Chemistry s products become part of our everyday lives and are profoundly intertwined with society s tastes, needs, and desires. Fritz Haber s ammonia for fertilizing crops helped raise chemistry s prestige to such a peak early in the twentieth century that an adoring public supported the massive deploy-... 

What the talk did not address was whether and how aims b) and c) might be achieved. It is the purpose of this paper to remedy this omission. It will, first, analyse recent developments affecting energy in the political and economic fields. That is to be followed by considering the obstacles to the achievement of greater public support and a discussion whether these can be overcome. Lastly, we draw some conclusions... 

Lacking methods for increasing the acceptance of selected measurements and measures these methods are needed to convince politicians and support their decision making.

National surveys have consistently shown growing support by whites for integration. In 1942, only 30% of white respondents supported school integration in 1970, the figure was 74% and by 1991, 93% of white respondents expressed support. History has shown that just as changes in attitude can mobilize public support to rectify racial inequality, the process can also work in the opposite direction. Consider, for example, the case of affirmative action nationwide surveys conducted in the mid-1990s showed increasing resistance by whites (Schaefer, 2000). 

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ( 1 to 5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The following graphs and charts provide background on gun-related crime, types of firearms deaths, and young people as firearms victims. There is also information about gun ownership and public support for various gun control or safety measures. 

In this decade, science is and will be focused on developing a repertoire of prevention, detection, and intervention capabilities, as long as the public support for these activities remains strong. To put the fruits of this labor into the hands of the public will require both government and industry support as well as high efficacy, reasonable cost, reasonable complexity, and availability on a routine, everyday basis. So the list of priorities for scientific research related to national security and homeland defense needs to be amplified and channeled in many different directions by academia, government, and industry, to create an overarching cohesive approach.

Microbial processes can also detoxify mercury ions and organic compounds by reducing the mercury to the elemental form, which is volatile (86). This certainly reduces the environmental impact of compounds such as methyl-mercury, however, such a bioprocess would have to include a mercury capture system before it could be exploited on a large scale with public support.
