Transcript: Presentation taped in Albuquerque, NM at the University of New Mexico during the American Solar Energy Society’s 51st Annual Conference, June 21, 2022.

It’s difficult to overestimate the importance of this conference, or other events like it. In fact, impossible to do so. There’s no need for this audience to take time to discuss the fact that we are at a unique moment in human history. Decisions that must be made right now will determine the course of future history, if there is to be any human history which is very much in doubt. There is a narrow window in which we must implement measures to avert cataclysmic destruction of the environment. Measures that are quite feasible, as shown in your invaluable work and that of others.
