We began to see that clean technologies, in particular renewable energy technologies, began to drop price and increase in capacity, to the point where today we are already building concentrated solar power plants that have the capacity to power entire cities, to say nothing of the fact of what we are doing on mobility and intelligent buildings.
But there also are economic advantages and intrinsic benefits, because the dissemination of the clean technologies is going to bring us cleaner air, better health, better transportation, more livable cities, more energy security, more energy access to the developing world.
Now, some of my favorite examples of this are in Africa, where a new generation of designers are developing incredible Internet of Things technologies to fulfill Florence Nightingale's dream of improving healthcare in countries where more people now have access to cell phones than to clean, running water.
In many places in which I have worked, it is easier to get access to an automatic rifle than it is to get access to clean drinking water.
Then you wipe the slate clean, start a third act as a political activist focusing on protecting the First Amendment and the separation of church and state.

We're in a clean energy revolution.
We were a little skeptical of some parts of the clean energy revolution story, but what we found really surprised us.
The first thing is that clean energy has been increasing.
This is electricity from clean energy sources over the last 20 years.
But when you look at the percentage of global electricity from clean energy sources, it's actually been in decline from 36 percent to 31 percent.
And if you care about climate change, you've got to go in the opposite direction to 100 percent of our electricity from clean energy sources, as quickly as possible.
A big part of this is simply that fossil fuels are increasing faster than clean energy.
But there's something else going on, which is that one of those clean energy sources in particular has actually been on the decline in absolute terms, not just relatively.
They were almost entirely replaced with fossil fuels, and so the consequence was that we wiped out almost as much clean energy electricity that we get from solar.
People think of California as a clean energy and climate leader, but when we looked at the data, what we found is that, in fact, California reduced emissions more slowly than the national average, between 2000 and 2015.
They're doing a lot of clean energy.
What's interesting is that when you look at countries that have deployed different kinds of clean energies, there's only a few that have done so at a pace consistent with dealing with the climate crisis.
What we found is that the world is actually at risk of losing four times more clean energy than we lost over the last 10 years.
In other words: we're not in a clean energy revolution; we're in a clean energy crisis.
But I just think the most important thing, if we're going to overcome the climate crisis, is to keep in mind that the cause of the clean energy crisis isn't from within our machines, it's from within ourselves.
Some countries that might have clean water supplies, so that you can't get waterborne transmission: you expect the organism to evolve to mildness there.
In the case of waterborne transmission, we'd like to clean up the water supplies, see whether or not we can get those organisms to evolve towards mildness.
If we know that we're going to get extra bang for the buck from providing clean water, then I think that we can say, let's push the effort into that aspect of the control, so that we can actually solve the problem, even though, if you just look at the frequency of infection, you would suggest that you can't solve the problem well enough just by cleaning up water supply.
