Secretary Chu at Stanford's Sustainability Summit.

What are the steps we must take as a nation to create new, clean energy jobs and ensure America's long-term competitiveness? What are the consequences for our climate of inaction? How can science and technology offer us new and better choices - and how can America's young people make a difference?

Today, I'm returning to Stanford University, where I spent many years as a professor, to discuss these and many other issues with a great group of students. I'd like to invite you to watch a replay of my speech here, and then share your thoughts afterward on my personal Facebook page (www.facebook.com/stevenchu) to continue the conversation.
