    A perfect example of the kind of lectures we need today.

    This is exactly the kind of thing we need. This design philosophy leads to structures that are efficient, sustainable, environmentally friendly, and still very effective at carrying out their purpose. Praise God for how incredible a Creator He is!

    Knowledge is power. We study so that we can make the world a better place. Once we transform it in a way that we're killing it, we gotta stop, look, think about it and study again for new solutions to new problems.

    Its all sounds great, but i would love to know how much energy it requires to produce ETFE... and if the waste produced when creating it is higher than that of glass. Because if its more than glass... then it defies the whole thesis and point of being sustainable.

    Now that's a TedTalk! I keep hearing great things about biomimickery. Humanity should gain lots of progress from this. To see the Sahara being reforested during my lifetime would blow me away.
    I'm confident humanity will make it through the next few decades, save for a cataclysmic event, like a meteorite (or WMD misuse). The amount of innovations and discoveries currently underway give me loads of optimism.

  • @Truthiness231
    @Truthiness231 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @gaiagale I concur completely; after seeing Paul's speech at TED on Six Ways Fungi Can Save The World, I became an amateur mycologist almost overnight and have learned to take care of quite a few species now. It's a lot like gardening but with a lot more water and sterility, and the payoff are foods that taste like animals but have the health benefits we typically assume were plant-only. Shiitake and oyster mushrooms are fantastic cooked; haven't had the shaggy mane, but I think I will now ^.^

    @lockcraw Indeed, and this is the type of specific proposal that should be looked at. Of course, I'm sure there are a myriad of problems, but its something worth fiddling with. I would much prefer to hear something down-to-earth like that than something that seems to suggest we could absorb even a 1/10th of a percent of the total solar energy that bathes our planet.

    @PVanderston black both absorbs and radiates heat faster than any other colour.
    at night there is no sunlight to absorb, so the black just radiates heat away from itself very efficiently.

    @Silverstarlightt Its not the big companies that would fight this its the curnt system. A closed loop's efficiency would let it under cut the curnt liner system. In some US cities the start of a closed loop system has begone. A closed loop works on both large and small sacle.

  • @Truthiness231
    @Truthiness231 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @gaiagale Yup, I concur completely. That's one way in which our technology can account for; until we start building things on the microscopic scale, much of the rest of the technology we can squeeze from this method will have to wait.
    Fungi, for example: Paul Stamets is currently pushing for the use of mushrooms that eat "waste" (some microbes and fungi can even eat nuclear waste and nasty hydrocarbons); we don't have to re-engineer anything to make them work, we just put them on site.

    @roidroid 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @MatsMinds plastic can be made from various renewables as well.
    i don't think he said anywhere in the video that he's going to be dropped in the desert naked, and he needs to build all his own tools, harvest all of his energy (starting with nothing!) and then create these things from scratch. He didn't say that. We CAN use already existing tools to create these things to reach our goals.
    It will take energy to create. They won't break-even instantly, no investment does that.

    @majinspy well it would be difficult to get power from arizona to michigan, but if you build solar plants all around the southwest that has such a reliable solar resource so you can make an entire region of the united states free from the need of unsustainable fuels. Then that lowers prices and saves money and allows for opportunities to devise and implement new technologies so it all balloons off of one another.
