Future News - Sad about Carrie Fisher, Solar and Wind Reach Grid Parity, Stoned in Space, A.I. Hacker, Solar Roadway

Listen Now to Future News 12.27.2016

Indeed, it’s a sad day when we lose a princess, especially one we grew up with, who has been an inspiration to many across the galaxy. Carrie Fisher we miss you, not for just the great roles you have played, but also bringing awareness to big issues like mental health and drug abuse in our current culture.

First Solar Roadway in Normandy, FranceIt’s also a time when Solar and Wind are finally reaching a price point where they can compete directly with oil as an energy source as the cost of these renewables continues to precipitously drop. So not only will we see solar roof tiles, as espoused by Solar City and Elon Musk, but we’ll see innovations like solar roadways that generate their own power for lighting.  The first prototype is now operational in Normandy, France and is a kilometer long!

And sadly, it appears that space radiation may interfere with our endo cannabinoid system, affecting our ability to experience being high in space. <sigh>

And then there are the Google A.I.’s that are sending encrypted messages to each other that we cannot crack.  So naturally Google has tasked another A.I. to crack the messages of the two communicating, so far unsuccessfully. What does it all mean? Join us as we explore these profound issues..

Have a very healthy happy New Year!

This triggers a conversation on the nature consciousness itself with caller Colonel Terry, who shares a profound near death experience and why he chose to come back. 

Enjoy!
