00:01Our world is undergoing profound change. Science and technology are transforming our lives with dizzy and scary. Astonishing innovations are
00:13ushering in a new era of opportunity. The high-tech revolution is fueling creativity around the globe, inspiring visionary solutions.
00:25So open your eyes and get ready for an amazing journey to 2050 to dream the future.
00:59In the 21st century, our planet is alive with light. Eighty-five percent of our energy comes from fossil fuel.
01:08It supplies our homes, cars, and factories. Demand is skyrocketing. By 2050, our energy needs will double.
01:20Global energy consumption amounts to 17 terawatts. That's 17,000 billion watts every single day.
01:30Every 15 seconds, we drain an Olympic-sized swimming pool full of oil.
01:39Imagine that you're in a leaky bathtub. Instead of fixing the leak, you turn the tap all the way on
01:46to fill up the tub.
01:48It's completely absurd.
01:52Gas and coal are also limited.
01:55I just wanted to understand, you know, how can the global economy function in the long term when we have
02:00finite resources available for us?
02:04How can we protect the planet, yet keep the machine running?
02:11We receive 6,000 times as much energy from the sun as we consume every year.
02:21The energy transition is one of the biggest challenges ever faced by mankind.
02:29We have every reason to be optimistic. All the solutions are in our hands.
02:35Mastering energy. It's a superpower movies love to imagine.
02:42Wait a minute. What are you doing, Doc?
02:45I need fuel.
02:48We search in space for what's no longer on Earth, as in the movies Alien or Moon.
02:57Dan Bell, reporting to Central.
03:0010-14 Pacific Time.
03:03I got a full container of helium-3 ready to roll.
03:06By the time this message reaches you, it should be in transit, otherwise everything running smoothly.
03:13Projects are underway to collect the mineral wealth promised by asteroids.
03:19To extract platinum, titanium or even gold, California's Deep Space Industries envisions distant mining stations and asteroids towed into Earth
03:32orbit.
03:37All this is fascinating, but Earth is where we must dream the future.
03:47The key to have a more efficient solar conversion system is to concentrate the sun power.
04:00Petroleum is at the heart of the petrochemical industry.
04:04It has to be turned into something that can use.
04:06And micro wind turbines are the best example I can give.
04:13You can't only have power during the day when it's sunny.
04:17You can't only have power when it's windy.
04:19People need electricity around the clock.
04:23To have energy in abundance all the time, this quest has obsessed us since the dawn of time.
04:34With the discovery of fire 500,000 years ago, our ancestors found a source of energy beyond their muscles.
04:45They could now generate light and heat.
04:51Eager to save our own energy, we used the power of animals and the natural environment.
05:00Around 300 BC, we built the first water mills and dreamed of mastering the sun.
05:09Legend has it that Archimedes tried to concentrate the sun's rays using mirrors to set fire to the enemy fleet.
05:20In the 7th century, Persians built windmills to grind grain.
05:27Throughout the Middle Ages, mills and water wheels were the main source of mechanical energy.
05:33Until the invention of the steam engine by James Watt.
05:39Now we had a strong need for fossil fuels like coal.
05:45The innovations of the Industrial Revolution, combustion engines, liquefied gas and electricity increase this demand.
05:58The first modern oil well in the US triggered the black gold rush of 1859.
06:06In the 20th century, scientists conquered the atom.
06:10In 1954, the first nuclear power plant began to generate electricity.
06:19Oil has kept the global economy humming since the 1960s.
06:24We've become addicted to fossil fuels.
06:30We really do have all the symptoms of drug addiction.
06:33These products are dangerous. They're getting more and more expensive.
06:36We're increasingly dependent on them and we're capable of doing anything to get them.
06:42Once that's understood, it's clear we need to find replacements and to undergo therapy.
06:49This is where my background as a psychiatrist comes in handy.
06:53It's no longer about treating one patient at a time, but finding a solution for society as a whole.
07:00A miracle cure might exist. Nuclear fusion.
07:06One of the greatest scientific quests of our time is to make fusion a process that we can use to
07:14power our planet.
07:16I'm Steve Cowley and I'm 55 years old.
07:21And I've spent my life trying to make fusion power a reality.
07:33The stars make energy this way.
07:36They take the nuclei of small atoms and they join them together to make bigger nuclei.
07:44The sun, for instance, is taking hydrogen and turning it into helium.
07:48And that's why the sun shines.
07:51If we could do that on Earth, it would be the perfect way to make energy.
07:58Nuclear fusion requires a complex infrastructure.
08:04England's jet, for joint European Taurus, recreates here on Earth the process that powers the stars.
08:13In this tangle of cables lies a tookamac, a doughnut shaped confinement device.
08:21This is where the fusion of heavy hydrogen nuclei takes place.
08:26The reaction generates excess energy that produces electricity.
08:33Hydrogen fusion creates temperatures hotter than the core of the sun.
08:39We put that into this vessel which contains the magnetic field.
08:46And then we pass about 5 million amps of electricity through it.
08:53That 5 million amps of electricity going round that loop creates more magnetic field and it squeezes itself together.
09:00And it pulls itself off the wall so it doesn't touch the wall anymore.
09:03And then you've got your fusion fuel in a ring going around here, not touching the wall.
09:11Once you do that, you turn on the heaters and bombard the plasma and heat it up from about 10
09:18million degrees to about 100, 200, 300 million degrees.
09:23And at which point it starts to fuse.
09:28Here at Jet, we've managed to be able to hold fusion fuel at 250 million degrees, more than 10 times
09:39the temperature in the middle of the sun, while it fused and made 16 million watts of fusion power.
11:38Way to think about it.
11:39And those moments are, you know, those are the golden moments in life for me.
11:46Chloe.
11:49Fusion has all the advantages of a great power source.
11:54it's safe. It does not produce any greenhouse gases. It doesn't produce any long-lived
12:01radioactive waste. You're able to put it next to cities. It could be powering our planet
12:08for millions of years to come.
12:13This dream could come true by the end of the century. In the meantime,
12:18there are numerous ways to harness the boundless energy of our sun.
12:24One square meter of land in Paris gets 1.3 megawatts per hour, which is equivalent to one barrel of
12:34oil.
12:35Most people are unaware of that. Now we need to consider the energy we didn't know about.
12:45Solar energy is booming.
12:50Crescent Dunes in the Nevada desert is a solar power plant. More than 10,000 heliostats,
12:58mirrors tracking the sun's path. Form a two-mile diameter circle and concentrate the sunlight
13:06onto a central receiver tower.
13:13The blistering temperatures heat up molten salt, which is stored in tanks and used to generate electricity.
13:25The plant powers more than 75,000 homes. This technology creates 100% clean energy, even after sunset.
13:39This industry was practically non-existent 10 years ago. There was no equivalent to nuclear or
13:45thermal power plants anywhere. Today we're generating 200 gigawatts worldwide, and solar energy already
13:53represents 1% of our electricity, all in just 10 years.
13:59Solar power needs space to expand. We need to minimize energy loss by generating power in cities near most consumers.
14:11For now, the only solution is fixed solar panels.
14:17It's a misconception. When you turn coal, or whatever heat source, into electricity, the yield is 33%.
14:27With photovoltaic panels, the yield is already more than 20%.
14:33With almost no machines operating, no pumps, nothing. The yield is 20% instead of 33%.
14:44Well, that's hardly negligible.
14:49To increase yields and produce energy where people live, we need to capture more of the sun's power.
15:00For me, a building is a machine. So why not use the machine to convert solar energy?
15:11My name is Andre Brussel, and I have a vision.
15:14I like to design in the future energy autonomous buildings.
15:26All the systems you can't apply, for example, in architecture.
15:31That's related to the tracking system because they need to follow the sun to get the focal point on the
15:42surface they want to convert. And this movement of the entire day takes a huge space, which you
15:53cannot install in a building. It's impossible. It makes no sense.
16:06The key to have a more efficient solar conversion system is to concentrate the sun power.
16:21Using the optical properties of a transparent sphere filled with water,
16:25water. Andre Brussel has invented a unique solar energy generator called raw lemon.
16:35The sphere works like a magnifying glass, concentrating sunlight toward photovoltaic cells.
16:44This system produces as much energy as a traditional solar panel, using four times less space.
16:54This one, 980 watts incoming light, 2.4 volts, and 4.4 amps behind the one-meter sphere.
17:15Another advantage, the sphere's perfect optical shape, allows it to harvest solar energy,
17:22even when it's cloudy. But that's not all.
17:27You don't need to move the entire system. The focal point is always in the same position behind.
17:34It's traveling with the sun, so you just need to place the cell here behind to capture it.
17:45The cells are placed on a motor-driven rail and follow the sun's path throughout the day.
17:55Using high-tech cells designed for aerospace, Brussel reduced the sensor's surface without impairing their yield.
18:08I reduced the cell surface to 1% per square meter. It's a clear vision because the transparency is super
18:17high.
18:17So, I take out of this 1% the same power-rated output as the 1 square meter conventional photovoltaic
18:27panel.
18:35The spheres come in different sizes.
18:38Ultimately, the idea is to integrate them in glazing panels for tomorrow's building facades.
18:45Imagine a skyscraper has 1,000 square meters of façade and just 100 meters of top roof.
18:53So, if you install a conventional PV panel there, you not reach 20% of the building consumption.
19:02But if you cover the entire façade, you can empower this house totally.
19:18So, what's absolutely amazing is that over the past year or two, solar and wind energy has started to produce
19:36cheaper electricity than oil, gas, or coal.
19:39And that's nothing short of a revolution.
19:42This means that most of today's investments are made in renewable energy, not in fossil fuel.
19:52Wind is the other major renewable of tomorrow.
19:57But like solar, wind is hard to implement in big cities.
20:03Wind turbines already meet 2% of global energy needs.
20:09In countries like Denmark, they generate 20% of the total electricity.
20:16But wind turbines are massive and need to face 30-mile-an-hour wind throughout the year.
20:30How can we harness wind power everywhere?
20:34In 2050, two in three people will live in huge cities.
20:42All cities have one thing in common.
20:44They're built to protect people from the elements.
20:47Rain, storms, winds, and so on.
20:51Turbines requiring winds of 13 meters per second make no sense there.
20:58My name is Lucien Gambarocca. I'm 58 years old.
21:02And I try to imagine energy alternatives that will still be relevant 50 years from now.
21:11We live in a world where things have to be practical.
21:14We have to be able to use what we dream of.
21:20Any self-respecting scientist able to contribute to the fight against global warming has a duty to do so.
21:34Offering solutions doesn't necessarily mean spending years and years doing research.
21:40It just means simplifying existing systems.
21:48To harness wind power in cities, Gambarota has designed tiny turbines that operate with winds as little as 3 miles
21:58per hour.
22:03The great thing is that you just have to link them together.
22:08Each turbine is 26 centimeters across,
22:11so if you use 10 of them, you end up with a 2.6 meter row of turbines all connected
22:19together working as one.
22:21We're able to cover large surfaces with very small devices and to produce huge amounts of energy.
22:31These micro turbines are ingenious.
22:35The wind blows through a cylinder enabling the turbines to work in both directions without having to face the wind.
22:47They're easy to install and virtually indestructible.
22:55I always describe my system in a very simple way.
23:00Compared to a traditional turbine, ours are half the cost and produce five times more energy at very low wind
23:08speeds.
23:10They last much longer.
23:11They can last 50 years.
23:14Whereas a standard turbine lasts 15 to 20 years.
23:19And the production cost of one kilowatt hour is 25 to 50 times cheaper.
23:28These urban wind turbines have already spread to 45 countries.
23:34Hong Kong alone has 60 installations.
23:39But with limited space, they're far from meeting the city's huge energy needs.
23:46The energy produced by one installation is enough to power one floor.
23:53Two stories and that's it.
23:55So imagine 100 or 200 stories.
24:02Hong Kong is interesting from an energy perspective because I think it's the worst mistake possible.
24:10There's not a lot of room here, so they've managed to pile up seven million people in an area smaller
24:16than Paris.
24:18Buildings are 100 or 150 meters high.
24:22Energy consumption is five, six, seven, ten times higher than anywhere else in the world.
24:30It's awful.
24:44People pay their bills, but apart from that, they have no idea what energy is.
24:50Electricity isn't visible.
24:54At some point, they need to understand the cost of energy.
25:00Because once they're aware of its cost, or they tend to try and save it,
25:14if nothing is done in the coming years, if nothing changes, all megalopolises will look like Hong Kong.
25:26But if we can solve the problem in Hong Kong, basically we'll have sold it worldwide.
25:38Some say that the drastic drop in the price of oil will hurt the development of renewable energy.
25:44But I think it's the other way around.
25:47Today we can use cheap oil to build much cheaper wind turbines, solar panels, and biogas plants.
25:54We can use inexpensive energy to build a sustainable infrastructure.
26:00This is the direction we need to take in order to wean ourselves off oil.
26:05It should be used to build something durable, not burned in a car or in a furnace.
26:18Our electricity has long been generated by power plants using fossil fuel,
26:24and by nuclear, wind farms, and solar panels.
26:33Sun and wind are intermittent and must be integrated into aging networks.
26:40If a line breaks or a power plant fails, we have a blackout.
26:50The current network has been built and optimized for a certain mode of production.
26:55Today, production is evolving because we're heading toward distributed energy.
27:01Part of the network can become a generating source.
27:05A tidal turbine off the Brittany coast can supply electricity to the local residents.
27:12The network is changing, but there's no need to be pessimistic.
27:19By replacing old, polluting systems with clean, modern, and appropriate technology,
27:27and by managing the energy used through smart grids, we will be able to develop things much further before a
27:34problem occurs.
27:38Smart grids incorporate the latest software into every part of the network,
27:43optimizing production and distribution, and smoothing out peak demands.
27:53Electricity cannot be stored easily and quickly on a laptop.
28:19Smart gridsあのy will not do whether to deliver large of the space is metadata.
28:21It's fine.
28:37This is an emotionalça broad box that we need to be able to benefit from all long,
28:38How to actually develop programs as a science surginteğ Rob他们.
28:40Also, I'm still learning fromáveis sectors.
28:42I'm still learning from our friends.
30:49We looked at the end of the pipe and we said, how can we get a bit more out of
30:53the end
30:53of the pipe?
30:54What we need to do is go to the beginning of the pipe and say, what do we build and
30:57how
30:58do we build it?
30:58The system, the products, the economy, so that we can get the value out again, so that
31:04we can flow the materials through the economy.
31:06We can create a system that works in the long term, and that's very different.
31:11We accumulate objects, endlessly.
31:15But how were they made?
31:18What's inside of them?
31:19When the novelty wears off, we just throw them away.
31:25To save energy, we need large-scale recycling.
31:31The energy wasted by throwing away newspapers or soda cans equals the output of 15 power plants.
31:39And the energy saved by recycling steel powers millions of homes.
31:46When you look at remanufacturing versus a new engine, for example, the savings are over 80%.
31:52You're not making a slight gain in efficiency, saying, actually, our factory is using 5% less.
31:58You change the system to enable the factory to use 80% less.
32:01And then suddenly, renewables become a more choosable option, because you're not trying to say,
32:06how do I replace that coal-fired power station with hundreds and hundreds of wind turbines?
32:11You're saying, we're actually needing only 20% of our previous energy demand.
32:14How are we going to achieve that?
32:16It changes the whole system.
32:17But can everything be recycled?
32:21Wait a minute.
32:21What are you doing, Doc?
32:24I need fuel.
32:28Go ahead.
32:29Quick, get the car.
32:32Inside a modern car packed with electronics, there are fewer and fewer recyclable parts.
32:38The body, the hardware, the parts can be recycled, but an increasing number of parts cannot be.
32:43Not to mention smartphones, computers, or flat-screen TVs.
32:54In Amsterdam, one company is focusing on something at the heart of our lives.
32:59The smartphone.
33:01They're building a fair trade, sustainable model, actually known, the Fairphone.
33:06The reason why we started making a phone is because we felt it was actually a symbol of our economic
33:11system.
33:13My name is Presa Wernink.
33:14I'm 39 years old.
33:17I do believe that together we can change the way the photos are made.
33:26What we found was that smartphones actually have an incredible impact in the way they're mined, the materials,
33:33in the way they're produced in factories and human working conditions,
33:36in the way they're used, for us, and also in the way that they're recycled.
33:41And we feel that with our project, we want to try and start making change in all of these areas.
33:47The Fairphone stands in stark contrast with traditional smartphones and their secretly complex systems.
33:57Smartphones contain up to 40 precious metals, making them hard to recycle.
34:11Some of those metals come from war zones, like Eastern Congo.
34:17We used tin, tantrum, now gold recently from fair trade or from conflict-free resources.
34:25We look at the design.
34:26So one of the big things about Fairphone, too, is how can we take the design to not only design
34:31the supply chain,
34:32but also to design the use phase.
34:35So how can we make a product that lasts longer and people are able to repair it themselves?
34:41Can we design it in a different way that when something breaks,
34:45then we don't have to throw away the rest of the phone?
34:48I am Miguel Ballester.
34:49My vision for the world is that we build more and more great companies
34:53that do the right thing to move towards better and more sustainable.
35:00That still is a smartphone.
35:02It's not like a huge thing or something different that you don't know.
35:04You start understanding what we have done when you take it off, right?
35:08Like when you take off the integrated case, which is done like this to be able to withstand bigger drops,
35:18things like that, you can replace the battery.
35:21This used to be very normal in the past, but it's not so normal anymore.
35:25And things like that you can change the screen very easily just with your hands.
35:29That's also very important that you can just take it off just like this easily.
35:34So when it breaks, you think like, of course I can buy a new screen and I can change it
35:39myself
35:39instead of just forgetting your phone in a drawer.
35:47It is very important that we think about recyclability because even recycling costs a lot of energy.
35:54But what we can do through product design is make that recycling easier.
35:58It's not about one person keeping the phone for a very long time.
36:02It's about the phone's life being extended for as long as possible.
36:06And that can be the phone as a whole going from hand to hand,
36:10but it can also be the phone in its parts or the materials inside it.
36:14So how can we design it in a way that we understand that the value extends beyond selling it to
36:20the customer,
36:21but that the value can be extended so that it can be recycled properly and that it can go back
36:26into the loop.
36:32Taking people and planet into consideration is a natural part of doing business.
36:39There's such a shift in thinking in a very short period of time,
36:43but I do think that everybody needs to kind of get rid of this idea of competition
36:49and look more towards collaboration.
36:59Innovators are building a fairer, cleaner world for 2050.
37:04But in the meantime, greenhouse gases keep building up,
37:08and there is no simple way to get rid of them.
37:13About 85% of global energy is associated with the burning of fossil fuels.
37:19Andrew Woods, age 51.
37:23Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is a critical objective for society
37:29while continuing to generate power.
37:33When we...
38:02...
38:03...
38:07...
38:08...
38:43...poses problems.
38:46Once you've started pumping underground,
38:48then there's a process of monitoring
38:49where that CO2 travels in that deep aquifer
38:53because obviously you want to ensure
38:55that it stays in that aquifer
38:56and monitor that it doesn't start spreading
38:59to other parts of the subsurface.
39:03In his Cambridge University lab,
39:06Andrew Woods and his team ponder fluid mechanics.
39:11The dynamics at work are very complex
39:14and hard to reproduce.
39:17We want to understand the controls
39:19on both where the CO2 initially travels
39:22and secondly, how long it takes to dissolve into the water
39:25and to understand the storage
39:28and the security of that storage in the subsurface.
39:35This facility in Norway produces 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide every year
39:41with efforts to capture CO2 on an even larger scale.
39:50The oil industry is eager to apply this process to its 4,000 sites worldwide.
39:58If you look historically, you know, we've transitioned from wood to coal to oil.
40:03Each time it's taken several decades to affect that transition.
40:07So to affect that transition, again,
40:09it's going to require a long time
40:11and a huge investment in new infrastructure.
40:13So the sooner we start acting,
40:16the sooner we're going to get to a new state
40:19in terms of the energy supply mix.
40:43No need to imagine going deep into the abyss
40:46to extract hydrocarbons, as seen in science fiction.
40:53Oceans have much more to offer in the form of blue energy.
40:58Algae research will give rise to new biofuels.
41:05Wave power will harness tidal and wave energy.
41:12And giant underwater turbines will capture power from ocean currents.
41:19The potential is huge.
41:25Our oceans may even provide a limitless source of energy.
41:30Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, or OTEC.
41:36The ocean is really the world's largest battery.
41:39It's the world's largest energy storage system.
41:44My name is Duke Hartman.
41:47I'm 29 years old.
41:48And I believe that the challenge of our generation
41:51is to develop affordable, renewable energy.
41:59The biggest source of energy that we have on this planet
42:02comes from the sun.
42:03And the ocean collects all of this energy
42:06in the form of heat.
42:09All in the tropical oceans around the world,
42:11a huge amount of energy is stored there
42:13in the upper layers of the ocean.
42:15And if we can tap into that energy,
42:18we can use this 24 hours a day,
42:20365 days a year.
42:22And it could really be a game changer
42:25for the energy independence of tropical nations like Hawaii.
42:33Like every other island,
42:35Hawaii is at the mercy of climate change.
42:41Hawaii aims to break free from fossil fuels
42:44and become the first state to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2045.
42:53Right now, Hawaii is 100% dependent on foreign fossil fuels
42:59for our base-load power.
43:01The goal of OTEC is to have a local and renewable resource for the state.
43:25What we need to do is pump in the warm surface water
43:28as well as pumping in deep, cold seawater.
43:31So you need both of those.
43:32You need warm and cold seawater in order to generate power.
43:38And so we pump this seawater into the plant,
43:40use the warm source to boil a fluid.
43:44In our case, we use ammonia.
43:46It's a fluid that boils at a very low temperature.
43:49So it boils at the same temperature that we have tropical seawater.
43:56Here, we're using a low-grade heat source, which is my hand.
43:59So the heat that's within my hand is enough
44:02to start to drive the fluid upwards.
44:05And that's what's driving the planet.
44:10That fluid then becomes high-pressure vapor,
44:13passes through a turbine,
44:15spins the turbine, that's where we get the power.
44:17But then what's driving the system is the cold side.
44:20So the cold water is actually condensing that vapor
44:23back down to the liquid
44:24and then is pumped back around in a closed cycle.
44:28So the refrigerant never leaves the system.
44:35So basically, you buy all the equipment on day one.
44:38And once you start pumping the seawater,
44:42it generates enough power
44:44to run all the operations of the plant
44:47and provide free power to the grid.
44:50So basically, the fuel is free.
44:52We're using sunlight and seawater.
44:54That's the only fuel for the O-Tech plant.
44:56This system actually has to run
44:59with a wide range of duty.
45:01So it goes from 100 kilowatts minimum
45:04to 5 megawatts of duty.
45:06I can run the system continuously
45:08at any point in between that.
45:12What we're doing here is validating the technology,
45:15including heat exchangers and the turbine,
45:17and then we're going to scale that up
45:19to a commercial scale point.
45:23Scaling up and moving offshore
45:24is going to be a challenge.
45:26There's no question about it.
45:27You need large pipes,
45:29you need floating platforms,
45:30and you need to be able to withstand
45:32the rigors of the ocean.
45:34But it's nothing that we can't do.
45:38Mankind has always found a way
45:40to engineer a new solution
45:42to overcome these natural challenges.
45:49We think that O-Tech could generate
45:51about four times the current electrical demand
45:54of the entire world.
45:56So even if our power consumption in the world
46:00quadruples,
46:01O-Tech could still meet the global
46:03electricity demand.
46:08More than a third of the world's ocean surface
46:11has conditions favorable for O-Tech.
46:16The principles behind O-Tech
46:18were laid down in the 19th century
46:20and are even mentioned
46:22in 20,000 leagues under the sea.
46:26The NEMO project will launch
46:28in Martinique in 2018.
46:31The first floating platform
46:33will supply electricity
46:35for 35,000 homes.
46:40O-Tech generates electricity
46:43around the clock
46:44without having to store energy.
46:47A mix of O-Tech,
46:49solar,
46:49and wind power
46:50could be a boon
46:52for southern countries
46:53and tropical islands.
47:10The ancient Hawaiians,
47:12Native Hawaiians,
47:13had a system
47:14where they cared for the land
47:16individually
47:16and as a group.
47:18And we're trying
47:20to continue that now.
47:29In Hawaiian,
47:30there's a word called
47:31kuleana,
47:32and that means responsibility.
47:34It means your duty.
47:35In my case,
47:37I feel like kuleana
47:38to care for the environment
47:40because right now,
47:42we're at a shifting point.
47:44And if we want to leave
47:46the same beautiful environment
47:47that we have now
47:48for our children,
47:49we're going to have to make
47:50a drastic change.
48:01Well, the change
48:02has already started.
48:03One of the challenges
48:04when it comes to future energy
48:05and renewable energy
48:06is trying to power
48:07the system we have today.
48:08And I think if we can
48:09really deliver
48:10that systemic change
48:11where the system changes,
48:12we change the operating levels
48:13we need of energy,
48:14that's where things
48:15start to get interesting.
48:18We know how to produce
48:19vast amounts of energy
48:21while saving the planet.
48:25The future is in our hands.
48:29It's a great time
48:31for pioneers,
48:32explorers,
48:33inventors,
48:34and innovators
48:35to come up with
48:36new extraordinary solutions.
48:39But we need to let them work
48:41and cheer them on
48:42instead of saying,
48:42this isn't right,
48:43it won't work.
48:44Why should we change
48:45what we have now?
48:46What we have now isn't enough.
48:48It used to be,
48:49but not anymore.
48:50And we should
48:51encourage change.
