Thousands of years ago, the group that knew how to make fire was the group that survived. That was the age of fire. Now another age begins: the age of clean electricity, in which anyone, at home or at work, can produce the energy they use. Solar panels, batteries, small efficient motors: the technology already exists. What is missing is getting it to everyone. The challenge is clear: clean electricity for all.
Three inventions for clean electricity for all
- Artificial trees that capture CO₂ on a massive scale and turn it into solid carbon.
- Cheap, scalable clean-up systems for rivers, coastlines and landfills.
- Clean energy within reach of every home, including in countries that have no access today.
Whoever achieves this will not only help save the planet: they will open one of the largest markets in history. The reward will not only be money, but the world we will inherit.
Four questions before you act
Whatever you are about to do, at work or at home, ask yourself:
The reward will not only be money, but the world we will inherit.
- Does it give me an advantage?
- Does it give my species an advantage?
- Am I giving back the energy I use, so it can be renewed?
- If everyone did the same, would society come out stronger?
When you eat a piece of fruit and plant its seed, the answer to all four is yes.
