Solar power to replace fossil fuels
Short audio interview with futurologist Raymond Kurzweil looking at how industries turn into information technologies and from there can take advantage of his theory of Accelerated Returns.

Part of this process involves internalizing the environmental costs of fossil fuels, shifting emphasis and investment to cheaper, cleaner energy production thereby bringing the tipping point forward.Â
