Five Technologies That Could Change Everything

I remember a professor in school once telling me that he could not teach me what was going on today, he needed to teach me the future. That way, by the time I graduate, I am prepared for what I will be seeing not what others have already seen.

So what are the 5 technologies that when they are successful will change the world's energy picture? Based on a Wall Street Journal Article, these technologies are:

  1. Space Based Solar Power - Scientific America stated that Pacific Gas and Electric started investing in this technology that harnesses solar power on a 24 hour basis because of receptacles in space.
  2. Advanced Car Batteries - Anyone notice that Hybrids have taken off. The next generation of batteries presents limitless possibilities using Stimulus Money to do it.
  3. Utility Storage - Redding Electric Utility chose Ice Energy to store sufficient energy for peak season.
  4. Carbon Capture and Storage - Scientific America points out that it will be too late if we do not start investing today. It is worth trying.
  5. Next Generation Biofuels - Scientific America again explored this topic.
So as you are studying, please follow these topics.

  • TOP TEN SIGNS YOU DON’T HAVE A GREEN JOB - 10. You fall asleep on the job and people in hazmat suits wake you up. 9. Interviewer asks if you can type, get coffee, and resist toxic waste. 8. You’re paid in baby seal pelts. 7. You take a lot of “before” photographs that involved undeveloped land and happy, frolicking wildlife. 6.

Your job description includes the letters “FEMA.” 2. You’re required to screen all visitors for hidden cameras and 20/20’s John Quinones. 1. At the end of the day, you glow.
  • How many people does it take to screw in a light bulb at Greenpeace? Four to hang a banner at the General Electric plant, one to screw in the bulb made from recycled ketchup bottles.
  • “Yesterday, a group of scientists warned that because of global warming, sea levels will rise so much that parts of New Jersey will be under water. The bad news? Parts of New Jersey won’t be under water.” –Conan O’Brien
  • “A lot of people think global warming is causing these terrible hurricanes. See I think to stop global warming we should move in the other direction. We should move towards a second ice age. Follow me, if the glaciers are coming towards us at like an inch a year, then the government would have time to respond.” –Jay Leno

Scientific American - Of course. After we talked about them in the editorial, they were the only logical source for news about the science of tomorrow. If you enjoy reading this, then consider a degree in engineering (it pays well).

Have a great school year.
