Building a Bright Green Future
If everyone lived like a typical prosperous American, we’d need ten planets to sustain our way of life. What might a sustainable future look like? How do we design and build one-planet prosperity in the next couple decades? What kinds of breakthrough technologies and innovative designs are being deployed to help us realize 90% reductions in our impact while improving the quality of our lives? What big problems remain to be worked out? How, in short, do we use ingenuity to design a future that’s both bright and green? From O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference, San Diego, CA, March 6, 2008.
