we live in a time where it is readily
apparent that if we proceed at the pace
we are proceeding continuing to overuse
the resources available to us in the way
we are overusing them we’re gonna run
out you don’t think people really
understand what run out means I think
especially Westerners I think we just
don’t get it but things really do run
out maybe it’s that we live in a culture
that denies mortality we cannot imagine
our own end and so somehow that odd
skewed point of view applies to
everything
there must be limitless all mustn’t
there but things really do run out lives
run out and resources run out and there
are real consequences to the exhaustion
of a thing and we all every human being
has faced lots there are very few people
watching the program who don’t know what
it’s like to lose someone and yet we
forget that we can lose things too so we
have to treat our resources the way we
treat other lives as something precious
and finite for me what is always quite
inspirational is what one person can do
that a single person can make a
difference and I think in the stories
that we’ve explored or at least touched
on we’ve seen that just a person with a
vision just a person with a dream can
change the world I think we know this
intellectually and yet somehow we forget
I think we can never be reminded too
often that it simply takes one person to
change everything
my very favorite thing I learned about
our ability to resource and convert all
sorts of things into energy is the wheel
the wheel is how we operationalize and
utilize energy it’s how we master it
it’s the yoke of energy and I had no
idea that reductively most every kind of
energy generation Under the Sun turns on
the wheel that was extraordinary for me
and I sort of thought whoever that guy
was with that weird stone who decided to
round the edges and roll it down a hill
was really odd this
