Meanwhile, Ella explores solutions to one of humanity’s most persistent inconveniences and discovers how we may finally be able to tackle the capital "P" Problem.

Julian: “Wind turbines steal energy as they turn. How many wind turbines would it take to stop the wind?” from Ella Hubber (and her husband)
Ella Hubber: “What if humans only peed once a year?” from Julia
