    “Drill baby drill” is the stupidest strategy EVER. Peak coal is in the rearview mirror. Getting small. Peak oil AND peak gas projected during this very term! Hahahaha! “If we drill more, well make money, exporting!” [sic] What a fool!
    Obviously it’ll be more like: “Stranded assets baby! Stranded assets as far as the eye can see.”

    A gigawatt is the size of a standard NUCLEAR power plant!!

    Got my panels for 2.5 years now, produced 12.6GW so far. Enough for my consumption. I can even fully charge my EV 50x a year just from what the panels produce. Every house should have solar panels

But environmentalist Bill McKibben says one thing is finally going right: the price of clean energy has plunged, making it cheaper than ever to power the world without burning fossil fuels. He breaks down how energy from the sun became the best option on Earth — and why this narrow window of time may be our last real shot at a different future. “Energy from heaven, not from hell,” he says.

Artist Joe Whale used to get in trouble for doodling in class, until a local restaurant let him cover an entire wall with his artwork … and the internet took notice. He traces his unlikely beginning to a bigger story: your imagination is a muscle, and it weakens when you hand it off to AI. Through a live doodling demo, he shows in real time what it looks like to let a thought become a drawing, one line at a time. (Recorded at Play@TED on May 14, 2026)
