MIT Professor Dan Nocera shares his vision for solving the world energy “crisis.” Now, if the world ever stops innovating, we’re screwed anyway. It has always been that way and always will be. Innovation is a key aspect and energy is a current worry of advanced civilizations, ere go innovation in energy makes us happy! Check it out:

One point I find interesting is the convergence of Professor Nocera’s line of thinking with that of Chris Anderson in his works on “free.” The idea is the decrease in cost and price as volume expands, approaching zero. Regarding energy, the idea is that the more we produce, we increase efficiency and decrease cost leading to more than adequate volumes at dirt cheap prices, powering the world. I dig it and there are plenty of pools too!
