Dr. Bashir A. Syed, Renowned Physicist, NASA Scientist and An Authority on Reneweable Energy such as Solar . Wind Energey, distinguished member of NY Academcy of Sciences,

It is not every day that you come across a Pakistani scientist who has worked for the United States space agency Nasa. A noted physicist who has taught and trained thousands of scientists, engineers and technicians, Dr Bashir A. Syed was here in Pakistan recently. Now in his late sixties, he is as alert and active as he was in his younger years. He travels the world over to give lectures and make presentations on harnessing renewable energy resources and designing solar, wind and water energy projects.

Bashir Syed is vice-president, R&D, ALT- EnergyTech Enterprises based in Houston, USA. He is a well-known physicist who has worked for NASA and other research organizations for decades including International Space Space Station Project,

An alumnus of the DJ Sindh Government Science College, he taught there when Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan was a student.

In the United States he attended some of the most prestigious universities. He has been a Fulbright scholar, and a Nasa scholar. His first job was with the Rockwell International Science Centre where he worked on Support US-EPA Contract for Air Pollution Monitoring through Remote Sites.

Discussion Points:
1. An overview of the Achievements of Dr.Bashir Syed on the field of Space Stations and Shuttles.
2. Introduction of the concept of Reneweable Energy for a common person. The various types such as Solar, Wind , Geo Thermal. What are the products your company sell. Are they environmentally friendly and what does it mean.

3. It used to be said that the Solar Energy was expensive but now we are seeing more and more companies are installing the solar panels in homes. Tell us about our listerners what is the benefit of them for installing the solar panels. In common man termsn how much load it can support. Also can these solar panel support heating equipment.

4. Discussion on benefits , no more electric bills, selling electricity back to the companies and make money.

5. Discussion on the cost of installing it in homes and what are the benefits and rebates available by state and local government if you install these. Also the Obama plan also includes more rebates now. Tell us about that.

6. Discussion on solving the energy crisis in Pakistan: it shows that your organization has an office in Karachi Pakistan, Having scientists like you who has extensive experience in Reneweable Energy resources, why Pakistan has not been able to leverage your expertise to address this situation. Can solar and Wind Energy projects solve the long term and short term power problems in Pakistan.

7. Discussion on the future of Reneweable energy products in the 2009 what are the new technological advancements are in the making which will help common people and the environment.
