Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Imagine this hopeful, and not impossible, energy scenario for the year 2040.

Yankelovich developed the Learning Curve concept of public understanding, which sees citizens typically moving through distinct stages: first, initial consciousness of the problem, to a second stage of “working through” the tradeoffs in different options, and then finally, to resolution about solutions. Climate change is a lesser concern.

In the case of the flow of heat from Earth to deep space, we’ve got a couple of promising concepts developed, although we’re still trying to figure out the best mechanism. By connecting a TEG between a hot reservoir and a cold one, the heat differential is captured as electricity. Connect a load and electrons flow from the p -side.
