all science nerds should read books be Dean Koontz. It will open their narrow eyes to many possibilities in the universe !!!
Isaac Azimov, Fredrick Pohl, Cliffard Simac, Robert J Sawyer (Hominids and others) Phillip K Dick (Minority Report, among many others) Orson Scott Card, Enders Game series, Seventh Son. Just a few people who open eyes to possibilities besides Koontz.

1. Harnessing electricity from underwater growing plants.
2. A worldwide conduit for electricity to be available, where all the environmentally friendly ways of generating electricity converge, span the world, and then can be moved to all people of the world to the betterment of Humankind - yeah, I know I'm not a realist - Humans are still too barbaric to work together!
Originally posted by @paul-a-robertsI think eventually we won't need a grid for power. I think we will figure out how to power devices with internal power supplies maybe with small atomic batteries, maybe with anti-matter matter conversion, whatever, a toaster that needs 1.5 Kw would have that power source internally and no need to plug into the wall. TV's, computers, cars, aircraft, spacecraft, all with power to spare, like a spacecraft using a VASIMR kind of rockets needing megawatts to get significant thrust, all powered by some lightweight fusion or anti matter reactors. Then we get to Mars in a week or Pluto in two as well as reducing our generation of CO2 to negligible levels.
