Nathan Lewis: Man of Mistery

During his lecture, Mr. Lewis, talked a lot about whats happening to the world and how humans are affecting climate change in our every day lives. What I noticed during his lecture was that he had a lot of percentages as well as scientifically backed facts on where we are headed. An interesting aspect to that was the fact that he seemed to be such an advocate for coal as a n energy source. This caught me off guard as I was under the impression that he's an environmentalist. But, what i think he was going fro was to show that our most viable energy source is destructive and needs to change. Another thing he mentioned was the fact that, globally, humans use an average of 13 terrawatts of energy. The crazy thing about that number is that a new unit had to be invented to define it. On top of that, where is he getting his information and why isn't it more publically available? As far as renewable energies go, I feel that our best bet is a combination of solar and hydroelectric used as off shore turbines with solar arrays on the top of them.
