Inventor, scientist and entrepreneur Saul Griffiths, on how we can make the future awesome through better engineering (and a bit of imagination).
I didn't really get the swipe at the environmental movement. Surely one of the great triumphs of environmentalism is getting people to think about the environment seriously. If there was no public support out there for the environment Saul could crap on all he likes but people would just keep digging up the black stuff and burning it.
And the pro nuclear plug ....ok fine talk about nuclear, but can't people get past the idea that there is more than just rationality to the nuclear argument. And then there's the cost. Nuclear is one of the most expensive ways to make electricity and guess what, the carbon tax will make all forms of "alternative" energy more affordable as opposed to oil and coal. So what's his beef
