     Humanity faces daunting problems that if they can be solved will only manage to be solved through human ingenuity. We need every mind available on these tasks. We need an era of unprecedented cooperation and scientific collaboration. We need every brain well nourished and optimistic enough to put itself to the tasks of finding sustainable ways to produce energy, understanding the ecosystems around us at a deeper level so we do not find ourselves at the mercy of nature. 1/
