The coronavirus pandemic has caused an unprecedented pause in normal life in our country and the scientific community specializing in energy related development and solutions is no exception. I, like many others, are heartened by the unselfish and heroic efforts of our healthcare workers; the expressions of compassion and concern for the infected by so many; the national rally around the recommendations for “slowing the spread”; and the massive unleashing of our medical and healthcare scientists to search for and find testing methods, therapeutic treatments, and ultimate cures. Our government has also responded with unprecedented financial support to aid people, businesses, and even other countries, in dealing with the economic stresses and strains they are experiencing during this unprecedented time. No one can deny that in the last couple months our country has, in large part, been almost solely focused on this “invisible” enemy. But do not despair! Soon our battle with the coronavirus will pass and we will get back to some semblance of normalcy. Energy ingenuity and development will resume where we left off and new innovations will follow. The objectives of NewEnergy2040 are still alive and well.
