Taipei, Jan. 28 (CNA) Arthur H. Rosenfeld, a recipient of Taiwan’s prestigious Tang Prize in sustainable development, died in Berkeley, California on Friday. He was 90.

Rosenfeld, hailed as “The Godfather of Energy Efficiency,” was a respected particle physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, before he devoted himself to energy efficiency and conservation.

He awakened to the importance of energy efficiency in 1973, when the oil embargo caused energy prices to soar and created long lines at gas stations.   [FULL  STORY]
