The energy breakthrough nobody saw coming: Making fuel out of thin air. A decade ago, Casey Handmer, a former NASA researcher with a PhD from Caltech, felt that fighting climate change meant choosing between fossil fuels and economic disaster. Fast forward to today: solar power has become so affordable that it's beating 2150's price predictions! This game-changing development means we can create synthetic fuel from sunshine more cheaply than drilling for fossil fuels. As a result, Handmer founded Terraform Industries, a company that can transform sunlight and air into synthetic carbon neutral natural gas. Want to glimpse the future? Handmer believes 95% of humanity's energy usage will be downstream of solar photovoltaic power by 2042. Handmer has said that he sees this as humanity's "Earthshot" — a chance to restore the planet by transforming its energy landscape. Watch our full interview with Casey to learn more.
