1. 54m28s  I wish carbon capture were a practical reality. I really do. I would support it.
   But hard reality: entropy - the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics - says it is not.  More energy will always be required to capture CO2 than the energy spent burning the fossil fuel to produce it.
2. Overpopulation is even worse now (May 2015) than it was whenever this speaker (37m0s) was last worried about overpopulation. No, we do NOT have a problem of "needing enough people". We need more people doing more work & being paid more by government to do advanced science & technology & green bioengineering.
