Recently saw Bill Nye speak. Very, very good.
-batteries
-solar hot water heaters
-climate change
-we have enough wind power, if we would/could harness it, to supply 5x the U.S. current energy needs.
-McDonalds - I forget what he meant by this.
-we use oil to make fertilizer while wasting the fertilizer already produced by pigs in CAFOs, which incidentally, cause dead zones when the waste is released into waterways. We need to rethink our nitrogen cycle.
-about the CAFOs, we need "smart pasture operations"
-nanotubes
-bike paths that are enclosed with louvers to make tailwinds
-solar tubes to bring light around the house.
-more efficient solar cells
Before him, Dr. T said that we all have contributions, and we shouldn't worry about being the best, but about making our contribution.
