"Over the past 10 months Comment Visions has travelled the globe to dissect, debate and seek solutions to the energy crisis. From the planets poles to the searing heat of equator weve looked at how humans are researching, adapting and confronting the changing nature of our earth through a series of interviews with leading experts in myriad fields.

This months Comment Visions looks forward by looking back, reviewing the Comment Visions interviews of the past year to put the individual episodes in context. A journey that began by travelling to Oslo, Norway to speak to Dr. Olav Orheim, a world expert on climate change, also saw us talking to pioneering scientists who suggested ways in which developments in robotics, space exploration and biotechnology could open up new frontiers in our approach to the energy crisis, as well as talking to business leaders about the need for responsive action.

From harnessing photosynthesis to colonising Titan, from solar-powered air conditioning to energy-saving robots, this months Comment Visions brings together the series of disparate, brilliant and inspiring interviews about the future of our planet.
