Daniel Kammen, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory, said the nation's investment in energy research is dangerously low at a time of soaring gas prices, widespread concern about U.S. dependence on foreign oil and mounting evidence that fossil-fuel waste hurts the environment.

Kammen's latest research, co-authored by doctoral candidate Greg Nemet, shows that public and private investment in new energy technology has fallen sharply since the 1980s. Adjusted for inflation, energy R&D funding peaked at more than $11 billion in 1980; today it's less than half that amount.

Their research showed a sharp decline in energy R&D spending by both government and private industry sources and noted a continued lack of funding could lead to a futureenergy crisis.
