An intriguing video that is very inspiring. Derived from its ending line, if you want abundant energy for everyone, you don't "drill baby drill," instead you remove the barriers that now prevent people from freely innovating to a better energy future. Bio-mimicry

Indeed, we should all develop thick, shaggy coats and tougher stomachs so that all this wood heating is unnecessary. %-P

Ever read Vonnegut's Galapagos? That's the premise, except we also evolve smaller brains to survive. Great read.


Cool stuff!! The term has a different meaning in an ecological context.
 
I have a friend whose daughter is studying architecture. I sent her the link to the TED talk and Pawlyn's company website. http://www.exploration-architecture.com/ She loved it and is so psyched! We need more fantastic visionaries that are willing to break out of conventional thinking. If we can dream of this stuff, we can do it.
 
I had to watch this video twice.
THis is where the Govt could step in and create sustainable jobs,instead of the political payback type where they waste a million or so per do nothing job. So what are they doing now ?CUTTING funding for science ,figures.Americas new motto, If you want anything done you have to do it yourself.

Same as where a small private company (tesla) embarrassed GM by building a powerful sale-able electric car.

This video is fascinating,its the future
