Debate: Does the world need nuclear energy? | Video on TED.com
Nuclear power: the energy crisis has even die-hard environmentalists reconsidering it. In this first-ever TED debate, Stewart Brand and Mark Z. Jacobson square off over the pros and cons. A discussion that'll make you think -- and might even change your mind.

Stanford University Professor - Mark Z. Jacobson
The main goal of Jacobson’s research is to understand physical, chemical, and dynamical processes in the atmosphere better in order to address atmospheric problems, such as climate change and urban air pollution, with improved scientific insight and more accurate predictive tools. He also evaluates the atmospheric effects of proposed solutions to climate change and air pollution, examines resource availability of renewable energies, and studies optimal methods of combining renewables.

When it comes to energy, Mark Jacobson thinks big | Grist
America retooled its auto plants to churn out 300,000 fighter planes during World War II, and laid 47,000 miles of interstate highway in the 1950s. Stanford University's Mark Jacobson believes the country can ramp up to build the necessary 3.8 million wind turbines and 90,000 solar plants in no time -- but we need to start right now!

Mark Z. Jacobson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Z. Jacobson is a professor of civil and environmental engineering in the Stanford University and director of the Atmosphere/Energy Program there. Jacobson develops computer models about the effects of different energy technologies and their emissions on air pollution and climate.

Atmospheric Pollution ( Amazon Kindle Store)
Mark Jacobson's new undergraduate textbook Atmospheric Pollution: History, Science, and Regulation captures important parts of the vast panorama of science and human experience related to the atmosphere...His book covers a field so large that no previous text has satisfactorily reflected the full array of problems and issues...[it] may be the best available...The text is highlighted with interesting stories that dig deeper than most anecdotes...The book carefully builds a framework for understanding atmospheric issues, and that framework provides a solid basis for examining what might be done to address those issues...it is a well-rounded introduction to problems of the atmosphere and offers rich material for students contemplating their solutions.

Study: Shifting the world to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030
Most of the technology needed to shift the world from fossil fuel to clean, renewable energy already exists. Implementing that technology requires overcoming obstacles in planning and politics, but doing so could result in a 30 percent decrease in global power demand, say Stanford civil and environmental engineering Professor Mark Z. Jacobson and University of California-Davis researcher Mark Delucchi.

Review of solutions to global warming, air pollution, and energy security - by Mark Z. Jacobson
this reviews and ranks major proposed energy-related solutions to global warming, air pollution mortality, and energy security while considering other impacts of the proposed solutions, such as on water supply, land use, wildlife, resource availability, thermal pollution, water chemical pollution, nuclear proliferation, and undernutrition .

#TED2010: What the World Needs Now
A new decade. An ongoing global financial crisis. It's a time to regroup, re-evaluate -- and then to dream. Dream big. Because the world of ideas has never mattered more.
