The prosperity and wealth of any nation significantly depend on its energy resources. Making good investments in energy production and its uses will become even more critical in the future as the population grows, the economy expands and demands for sustainability intensify. However, in recent years �storm clouds� have been forming at the interface of energy resources, environment, and climate change that demand concerted action by scientists, engineers, and policy makers.  In this talk I will discuss how materials innovation can provide unique technological (and business) opportunities for addressing some of these challenges. In particular, I will focus on organic inorganic hybrids (nanocomposites) with applications in four current sectors: Energy Conversion and StorageCO2 Capture and ConversionWater Purification Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
