Power Overview: Power – generation, distribution and management - is a critical enabler for society. Yet the development of renewable and environmentally clean sources of power, and a transition to flexible and local distribution power architectures are significant challenges. A variety of emerging developments - renewable and clean energy sources, such as solar power and fuel cells (terrestrial and space-based), and new methods of combining power and communications (wired and wireless) represent significant opportunities to shape anew the power and energy landscape

Issues: There are many significant issues that adversely affect the ability to generate, manage and distribute energy and power on a global scale, negatively impacting society, the economy and the environment, including:

• inability to provide flexible distribution of power to geographical areas
• lack of sufficient renewable energy and power source options
• pending depletion of fossil fuel and coal now powering the economy
• deleterious health and environmental effects of global CO2 emissions
• no electricity generation capabilities for 1/3rd of the worlds population
• parallel and duplicative infrastructure for power and communications
• highly centralized and antiquated domestic electric grid infrastructure
