The 9 February 2007 edition of Science examines one of the vital scientific and societal issues of our time -- the need to move toward new sustainable sources of energy in the face of human-induced climate change, increasing worldwide energy demand, and dwindling supplies of fossil fuels. A special podcast provides interviews on the state of science, funding, and policy in the sustainable-energy arena. ScienceCareers.org, meanwhile, profiles three scientists doing sustainable-energy work in the private sector. And, for historical perspective, we've gathered together some previous energy special issues of Science.
