On the subject of policy options, I've never understood why hustling the driving public into electric vehicles is a higher priority than expanding the grid and hardening it against a Carrington-type electromagnetic event (natural or man-made), or producing a fleet of modern nuclear power generators. Worse, I don't even hear people arguing about it.
Great interview, although I don’t think you could give a bad one.
Since my Broadband/Open Access activism of early 1999-2001, I have used The Tabernacle Choir as a metaphor for the important voices in any important debates about science, technology, and humanism. It seems to me that a broad sense of humanity and culturalism have been missing from much of the energy/environmental discussion in US and “the planet”.
It great to have you vocalizing and thinking out loud.
