   This is World changing stuff. That said, I am not surprised to see Craig Venter and you, Steve, involved. Congrats.

   I assume that bottle he’s holding is a filled with fresh ’09 vintage Algoleum (TM) that you are about to collectively consume???

   Rumors say it has amazing medicinal properties, like olive oil mixed with wheat-grass and penzoil 😉

   ps: Dr. V has good taste in boats and shacks.
   pps: on closer look its a bottle of Mr. Schuler’s Meteor…tres apropos!

   Yes – enjoyed from his vinyard (he is a fellow board member… he also has a huge solar installation – I need to find that photo)

   @Todd in the notes: yes! When I saw his ASU affiliation, I mentioned you, and he remembers you well.

   Alieness: with crayons

   Large size bottle, to match ego/personality and most everything about the photo. Should we pair the celebratory atmosphere with some pondering?

    I agree with you, aeroculus. Let’s see what the (energy) problem is: Too little supply, or too much consumption?

    As Craig is tackling half of the problem at best, is there room for even bigger thinking?

    @fCh: both. but the former is a difficult yet tractable problem (from scientific, engineering and economic fronts); changing behavior is far more complicated.
