...talk about the importance of new, clean technology, governments around the world have underinvested in energy.

That has to be doubled, at least. "We need money on the magnitude of what the U.S. invested in the Apollo program," said Steven Chu, another co-chair and the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the University of California-Berkeley.
