A profile of Herbert Woodson, an electrical engineering professor, describes his loyalty to fundamental research while consulting and committee activities keep him in touch with the practical end of electricity. He stresses the need to find innovative ways to use electricity that will keep the US competitive. This means focusing at the consumption rather than the production side. As a working member of the Electric Power Research Institute's Advisory Council, he cites learning opportunities from other members and satisfaction with the advisory apparatus. Fundamental research requires adequate funding to pursue an identified problem. Successful industries earmark 5% or more for basic research.
