MMP-LMHS Technology – Energy Requirements

Energy In Society

Energy

Energy is a requirement for growth. As nature includes mechanisms that actively increase entropy, energy is most often a required input just maintain status quo. Our civilization has been shaped by the development of methods to extract energy from increasingly convenient and potent sources.

Currently, there is no more convenient method for the transmission and usage of energy than electricity. With increasing regularity most energy under human control will be converted into an electrical form for widespread usage. Consequently, technology that increases the efficiency of conversion, transmission, or application of energy will be beneficial to societal goals. There is a technology that has been demonstrated in laboratories for more than 100 years and excluding select use has yet to become widespread incorporated into society. Discovered in 1911, superconductivity holds the potential to introduce significant increases in efficiency and power density in electrical systems.
