S2 E11 Climate is the Future of Everything

Discussion topics in this episode:

• The original too-big-to-fail: our dearly beloved hydrocarbon industry. Hopefully soon, we can be saying: "our dearly departed."
  
• Our heirs deserve to inherit a livable world with air to breathe, water to drink, and food to eat. After all, it was never ours to greedily squander.
  
• The tools we use to save our biosphere will also build a new way of life. We need to embrace a new vision and rise to the challenge of adaptation that is upon us all.
  

Your hosts: Michael Piscitelli and Raymond Wong Jr.

• We will need to act big, in a systematic way, to save the best of our way of life and create an opportunity to transform it into something sustainable and cutting-edge.
• The Equitable and Just National Climate Platform presents one of the most comprehensive and bold visions for a healthy new way forward for our nation.
• Energy is everything. On the horizon of emerging technology are some exciting developments:
• A Tokamak fusion reactor in South Korea passed an unprecedented milestone. Yeah baby, it's star stuff! This ain't your grandmothers' nuclear fission.
• More magical properties found in graphene: it's a fantastically strong atomic material and a superconductor (no impedance or loss of energy in transmission) and now we see it can create topological quantum states. It also looks like a possible alternative to today's batteries too.
