That first curve for me was a technical scientist.
The second curve is an educator.
That's carried me along for a while.
Not the whole world.
No.
Yeah.
Two of my favorite words, transition and renewable.
But we're not, and they aren't.
And I said that in a TED Talk, actually, to 1,100 kids.
I went through what we started with.
food cow and kale to understand energy density and took them through different forms of energy and how some you just get a lot more bang for the buck but all of them come from the earth a solar panel comes from the earth a wind turbine comes from the earth the battery comes near this mine and then it's manufactured in these collection systems collects the sun light heat and motion of the wind and it's converted into electricity but those wear out
and then we dump them into landfills, and we do it over and over, so there's no renewable energy.
No, that's a myth we've carried forward in our schools.
And the sun and the wind are there, but you can't put sun in your car.
So you have to have these collection systems, and those come from the earth.
They're mine.
Other kinds of energy are denser.
Coal came along.
At first it was wood, and then the sun was the first form of energy.
It grew the hay that our vehicles of the day used, oxen and horses.
