One oil boss says they produced more technological breakthroughs in five years than battery research has in the past thirty.
These prizes have become more common since 1995 thanks in large part to the X Prize Foundation, which encourages breakthroughs in five areas — the life sciences, exploration, energy and the environment, education and global development — where the "commonly held belief" is that "a solution is not possible".
So tonight I announce the Advanced Energy Initiative -- a 22percentt increase in clean-energy research at the Department of Energy to push for breakthroughs in two vital areas.

This is radically changing with breakthroughs in two technologies: (1) Photovoltaics (PV) enable domestic and commercial consumers to self-produce energy; (2) Batteries allow consumers and self-producers to gain control over their grid energy and capacity parameters.
WASHINGTON — Steven Chu, the new secretary of energy, said Wednesday that solving the world's energy and environment problems would require Nobel-level breakthroughs in three areas: electric batteries, solar power and the development of new crops that can be turned into fuel.
DAN TEPFER A young post-bop pianist of exceptional poise but only moderate acclaim, Mr. Tepfer may have his breakthrough in "Five Pedals Deep," featuring a trio with Thomas Morgan on bass and Ted Poor on drums.
The police are now claiming a "breakthrough" in one arrest, of Tanvir Ahmed Ansari, a Mumbai-based practitioner of traditional medicine.
Approaching R&D from the view that diseases come in "families" and that a breakthrough in treating a tropical disease may lead to a breakthrough in one of its western cousins is one way to promote research without infusing ideology and may yield clues on how to approach emergent diseases.
Transmitted and reflected microscopy, cathodoluminescence microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and confocal laser microscopy techniques were used to (1) determine the mineralogy, geochemistry, and pore networks within the sandstone inserted in the RR-MFC, (2) analyze non-reactive tracer breakthrough in two- and (depth-limited) three-dimensions, and (3) characterize multiphase flow.
