Let’s Talk About Clean Energy | Breakthrough

I believe that there is energy clean
safe energy all around us and that it is
our opportunity now and our obligation
to find ways to access it I’ve always
had great fun converting other people’s
worked into my own when I was a kid I
liked coloring books with lines as an
adult I like to adapt novels for lives
I am constantly fascinated by what lives
in the shadows or what is hidden the
more that we understand what we have at
our fingertips the better our chances
are for not wrecking our world I think
that the world is actually rich with the
potential for power and that it’s very
possible that the way we imagine the
generation of energy the way we imagine
how we create energy we can consume is
habitual we’ve fallen into routines we
think we know where energy comes from
because we know where it came from we
know how in Our Fathers time and our
grandfathers time energy was produced
but strangely I think we have
unwittingly become provincial we turn
out to be doing what they did I believe
that we’re on the cusp of change that
may be optimistic and maybe every
generation believes they’re on the cusp
of change we certainly still live in a
time where a misstep could preclude our
chance to ever progress but I’m hopeful
I’m hoping that we can learn to coexist
with our planet and to cooperatively
enjoy its benefits it seems impossible
for us not to concur but I’d like to
believe in that now we no longer have to
pillage the world in order to use it as
the source of how we go forward I think
that in the show you see human beings
whose belief whose dreaming whose
imagination converts into innovation
part of what is so delightful is the
idea of a revisionist view of what the
earth
give us to believe that beneath us at
all times is a sea of lava powerful
enough to drive our world without
damaging it
that’s an amazing hope I think the idea
that we can open our arms and have wind
power more than just our sails these are
not accidentally poetic images because I
think they are the images of dreamers
and I think that is also where progress
and innovation come from the idea of
imagination and the idea of aspiration
can become innovation and reimagining of
our world in a way that gives us more
hope for the future
