#4We are burning incredible amounts of coal 40 years after we started talking about climate change. I believe around 40% of global electricity is from coal.
We keep waiting for the windmills and batteries to solve the problem, while kicking the can down the road

How would that be any different than the people who get a degree in Petroleum Engineering (aside from the audience they are signaling) ?

#10They'll build a building and mint degrees, this doesn't seem very Entrepreneurial to me, more legacy naming kind of thing.
Would be nice to see hard core innovators do hardcore things.
Like solar, nuclear, carbon sequestration etc..
