The issue of power supply is overcome by harnessing the power of solar.

There are changes in the solar cycles, every 11 years and longer, that change the climate.

I could go through a dozen more examples: the skill associated with solar cycles, changing the ozone in the stratosphere; the skill associated with orbital changes over 6,000 years.

Fossil fuels are not available, and solar energy doesn't cook the way that they like their food prepared.

One of the really exciting things is looking at solar water disinfection and improving the ability to be able to do that.

So when Nicolaus Copernicus said, actually the Earth is not the center of the universe, the sun is the center of the solar system, the Earth moves around the sun.

So this diagram illustrates a computer simulation that has looked at all the different factors that we know can influence the Earth's climate, so sulfate particles from air pollution, volcanic dust from volcanic eruptions, changes in solar radiation, and, of course, greenhouse gases.

They pretend, they behave, as if they believed that every country was an island that existed quite happily, independently of all the others on its own little planet in its own little solar system.

At the same time, we found ways to make our operation more efficient through the addition of solar power, rainwater catchment, organic gardening, recycling.

And Herschel's recognition that something was different, that something wasn't quite right, was the discovery of a planet, the planet Uranus, a name that has entertained countless generations of children, but a planet that overnight doubled the size of our known solar system.

The origins of our solar system, how our solar system came into being, is it unusual or special in any way?

In the last five years, NASA has discovered over 1,000 planetary systems around nearby stars, but the systems we're finding aren't much like our own solar system, and one of the questions we face is is it just that we haven't been looking hard enough or is there something special or unusual about how our solar system formed?

And if we want to answer that question, we have to know and understand the history of our solar system in detail, and it's the details that are crucial.

So now, if we look back at the sky, at our asteroids that were streaming across the sky, these asteroids are like the debris of our solar system.

The positions of the asteroids are like a fingerprint of an earlier time when the orbits of Neptune and Jupiter were much closer to the sun, and as these giant planets migrated through our solar system, they were scattering the asteroids in their wake.

So studying the asteroids is like performing forensics, performing forensics on our solar system, but to do this, we need distance, and we get the distance from the motion, and we get the motion because of our access to time.

So studying the forensics of our solar system doesn't just tell us about the past, it can also predict the future, including our future.

Because the LSST will be able to go faint and not just wide, we will be able to see these asteroids far beyond the inner part of our solar system, to asteroids beyond the orbits of Neptune and Mars, to comets and asteroids that may exist almost a light year from our sun.

And as we increase the detail of this picture, increasing the detail by factors of 10 to 100, we will be able to answer questions such as, is there evidence for planets outside the orbit of Neptune, to find Earth-impacting asteroids long before they're a danger, and to find out whether, maybe, our sun formed on its own or in a cluster of stars, and maybe it's this sun's stellar siblings that influenced the formation of our solar system, and maybe that's one of the reasons why solar systems like ours seem to be so rare.

Here's the underbelly of this solar canopy which we built to show the technology.

You can see the six solar collectors at the center there.

You can see the solar canopy overhead, the light streaming in, and this entirely live green space below.

In the next five or six years, they will likely move from around 20 percent in renewables — wind, solar and so on — to over 33 percent, and that would bring California back to greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 to where they were in 1990, a period when the economy in California would more or less have doubled.

Not just California — the incoming government of India is planning to get solar technology to light up the homes of 400 million people who don't have electricity in India.

They've also been making enormous investments when it comes to clean and renewable energy, like hydropower, wind and solar, and the pace and the scale of this transformation has been absolutely mind-blowing.

When we look at solar, China's also leading.

In fact, they crushed their 2020 target of installing 105 gigawatts of solar power.

This is after the government already revised upwards several times its solar energy target between 2009 and 2015.

Last year, in seven months alone, China was able to install a whopping 35 gigawatts of solar power.

We can verify this remarkable growth in solar power from space, like the startup SpaceKnow has done in this slide.
