Shipping traffic in the Santa Barbara Channel and along the California coast significantly contributes to air pollution and fatal strikes on endangered blue, humpback, and fin whales. The voluntary Vessel Speed Reduction (VSR) program encourages vessels to slow to 10 knots or less, effectively reducing pollution, whale strikes, and ocean noise.

Society faces an existential crisis: 84% fossil fuel energy drives catastrophic climate change and pollution, causing one in six deaths. Extreme light applied to nuclear energy could offer a solution, activating materials like thorium or boron for abundant, waste-free, and radiation-free power.

This innovative path draws on the work of Nobel laureate Gérard Albert Mourou. The French physicist co-invented a laser amplification technique, earning him the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics. His invention also enabled refractive femtosecond eye surgery, used on over a million patients annually. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
