I find both humor and grimness in most issues. - Bill Nye

I will assert that U.S. economic growth is in lockstep with science and technology and, by extension, science education.

If you could invent a better battery, one that can store more energy using less exotic metal, one that could handle the heat without loss of performance or just plain catching on fire, we could store energy from the wind and the Sun and have it available whenever we need it. You would change the world all right. You might also get rich – crazy rich!

Change the world - even if ever so slightly - is my goal.
