30. Yeah, but how many pounds is that? It can't be good for his health...
Edited on Sat Jun-24-06 01:24 PM by JudyM
Makes me think he's depressed. That jacket looked hugh! Like, I'd guess that he put on 100 pounds. Still totally hot, though, and that's saying something.

Here's one hopeful bit of news:

Large-Scale, Cheap Solar Electricity

A well-financed California startup is promising to build a solar-cell factory that could finally make solar power affordable.

By Kevin Bullis

This week, Nanosolar, a startup in Palo Alto, CA, announced plans to build a production facility with the capacity to make enough solar cells annually to generate 430 megawatts. This output would represent a substantial portion of the worldwide production of solar energy.

According to Nanosolar's CEO Martin Roscheisen, the company will be able to produce solar cells much less expensively than is done with existing photovoltaics because its new method allows for the mass-production of the devices. In fact, maintains Roscheisen, the company's technology will eventually make solar power cost-competitive with electricity on the power grid.

Nanosolar also announced this week more than $100 million in funding from various sources, including venture firms and government grants. The company was founded in 2001 and first received seed money in 2003 from Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Yes, it looks like a regurged press release... but my prediction is that people in the Sun Belt and West will be mostly "off the grid" by 2030.
Yes, it looks like a regurged press release, but this is one wave of the energy future...

26. I can imagine...I'll keep an eye out for a clip.
I've been watching Al lately on his various appearances and have cheered out loud during all of them. Hope this one is the same.

27. There's a small clip on Dave's site

Look for Al on the right and about half way down. Click on Al and the clip will load and play.

on edit: just watched it. It is a short clip but it gives you the idea of how the interview went. (also edited subject line to add the word "small".)

22. This has been a fantastic conversation between Dave and Al.
It seems that "An Inconvenient Truth" made quite an impression on Dave!

31. I like the way David Letterman for the most part,
kept the discussion with Al serious so that vital points could be made to the people.

32. Yes, you could see Letterman
was really into it and that spoke well for him and the audience benefitted.
