I would murder to attend this university.

About the question: "If you were an entrepreneur in a garage, what sort of Energy startup would you build?"
Here is my answer since I am this entrepreneur: "I would start an Energy Business that ties Energy with Social Networking. The Social Energy Network. We launch phase I of the service by end of January 2010. The name of the startup is SKYNJA (like Energy NINJAs) an Icelandic word for "Perception", which is what we need to solve energy. I look forward to starting it. Edison."

Too much attention towards fission and not enough on fusion power as a silver bullet. Nuclear power is non-renewable and does not produce electricity directly as solar does, it produces heat.

As someone who lectured at Singularity University, I could be dismissed as being biased.
Bob Metcalfe is a must view video if you are interested in the future of energy and the energy-Internet connection....
Great content! Great performance!!

I have seen quite a few of the Singularity University videos and so far this is the best one by a good margin.
