All I can say is that this man is a major part of the small hope I hold for the future of mankind.
He is a man that will be remembered as one of the few that took renewable energy seriously and made the leap that was necessary to spark interest in peoples dulled and commercialized brains.
Keep doing what your doing, you will be remembered in history as a great man.

Well bertrand is actually SWISS he comes from the french talking part.

I remember were he introduced his solar aircraft in Dübendorf, thats near Zürich on a military airfield.

it appears he is french for some reason i have problems “computing” english in frech accent.
Wierd thou as i speak english fluidly and also understand it whit any wierdo accent but french does confuse my brain. hmm maybe it is because the accent resembels my native language sweedish as much so the brain tries to compute swedish when its english i dunno i speak better finnish and english then swedish anyways LoL

He’s Jean Luc’s grand grandfather

This could be the next Professor X.

GET TO DA CHOPPA~~!!!!!
sorry. . . .

Wow! A motivational message.

No one has ever posted anything like it on YouTube before. . How um. . . inspirational.

This mans talk is allegorical and reasoned, enlightened and pragmatic; addressing global concerns that by now must resonate deeply within us to a broad-based listenership. Rare (for me) to see a person encompasses such a myriad of issues and problems facing the globe today so eloquently.

Find motivation in what seems impossible sounds challenging and uplifting.

Choose Arjuna, choose. . .

Yes I agree about Geothermal. . I just saw on the news a project for 50Mw, which is a start. . I think it was around 13 million donated for it.

The current approach to fusion seems very wrong headed for me. You might want to take a look at the google tech talks on alternative energy schemes. Two alternatives in fusion to the tokamak design and the thorium fluoride liquid phase reactor.

I also think the geothermal is WAAY underrated as a source. Hot rock is fricking everywhere and the technology is already developed.

I just don’t think Fusion will become something big, looking at our present progression. . Maybe I am wrong. . But I think their is enough potential with Nuclear alone. . Of course the addition of concentrated solar, is another worthy alternative that is being constructed as we speak. . I am afraid Fusion may simply lag too far behind, and be forgotten about, I think Steven Cowley is conveying that hint in the fusion video (energy’s future).

My point,like a human or person having a daily life that gives me the opportunity to work and expand my view and i hope some day other peoples views is to have the spirit and to take risks whatever you do or you work. Alternatives exist and they will exist and i believe that the world can and will change if people want it. Not only individuals.
