  1. Here’s a one word answer: Smart-grid.

    Damn. Harvard has some dumb professors. Oh wait, he’s a BUSINESS professor. That makes sense now. Go learn some science, then work along side some engineers that is currently working their ass off…then come back and tell us we are nuts.

  2. what was the intro song called ? very catchy please thumb this up for ppl 2 reply

  3. Anyone know the name of the song? I’ve been hearing it in commercials for years but I’ve never been able to identify it.

  4. just because we haven’t yet maximized solar power’s efficiency, doesn’t mean we won’t or can’t. If we look at the possibilities, not the current capabilities, “The amount of solar radiation striking the earth over a three-day period is equivalent to the energy stored in all fossil energy sources.” That’s a lot.

    I disagree ghostrid3. He’s right. Solar can be extremely unreliable as a result of night, clouds, weather, etc. Power on the grid hardly ever goes out. That doesn’t mean that solar isn’t a great addition to the grid to help carry some of the load – but I don’t see solar carrying the full load in America any time in the near future. Areas of electric non-consumption are definitely a better market.

  6. I like how he has superior eye contact LOL. I’m going to like and favorite this video only b/c of that reason.
