Wow...this is about the most interesting 25 minutes I've heard in some time. Scientific American interviews Pulitzer-winner Tom Friedman who touches on the main ideas of his new book Hot, Flat and Crowded, in which he argues that a perfect storm of human overpopulation, human-induced global warming and a rising global consumer class has created the need for FAST action by the US to lead the world in creating non-carbon based energy sources. 'Nothing particularly revolutionary in this, but Friedman has a knack for explaining the complex in compelling, common-sense language. PF sure hopes Obama has this guy on the short list for some kind of cabinet post...good stuff!
