葉恭平博士認為當代人類最重要的問題就是全球暖化而要解決全球暖化必須先找到乾淨而能永續利用的能源。舊式核能不但危險極大且減碳效率不彰。除了太陽能和風能等傳統綠能葉博士介紹了目前最新的核能發電方法人類需抓住這個永遠解決能源問題的關鍵點。

As a world renowned high energy physicist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory of the US Department of Energy since 1985, Dr. Gong Ping (G.P.) Yeh has been accredited with many notable works and contributions including the discovery of the Top Quark, pioneering large scale super computing using Linux, creating Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, and creating new Particle Therapy centers for treating tumor patients in Illinois, Taiwan, and other countries. His current research focuses on sustainable energy solutions, particularly on the Accelerator Driven System and Thorium energy as a new source of energy.

Dr. Yeh has been serving internationally as an advisor for sustainable energy in many countries.

美國能源部費米國家加速器研究院的高能物理學家致力於重粒(離)子癌症醫療、核廢料處理、釷能源、永續能源的推動。

擁有多項卓越的科學貢獻與成就的葉博士近期研究專注於全球永續能源。葉博士提倡全球應該積極開發永續能源, 包括提高能源效率,再生能源,以及新能源釷Thorium Energy 和核廢料處理nuclear waste transmutation。由釷能源(Thorium)取代核鈾(Uranium)可以解決核電的安全、廢物、武器、成本、永續五個基本困難。
