L'intelligence artificielle semble gratuite, instantanée et sans limites. Pourtant, derrière cette apparente facilité se cachent des coûts énergétiques, économiques et stratégiques majeurs. Albert Meige alerte sur un modèle qui, selon lui, ne peut pas durer en l'état.Interview : Albert Meige, associé chez Arthur D. LittlePunchlinesL'IA repose sur une infrastructure physique devenue critique.Le modèle économique actuel de l'IA ne fonctionne pas.Les prix de l'IA vont nécessairement augmenter.95 % de l'énergie d'un LLM est consommée à l'usage.Générer cinq minutes de vidéo équivaut à charger une Tesla.Votre rapport parle de « dépendances cachées » de l'IA. De quoi s'agit-il exactement ?Nous avons travaillé sur trois grands volets. D'abord l'impact réel de l'intelligence artificielle, notamment environnemental. Ensuite les dépendances et les vulnérabilités que cela crée pour les utilisateurs, en particulier les entreprises. Et enfin, en toile de fond, toutes les questions d'autonomie stratégique que cela pose.Vous affirmez que le modèle économique de l'IA n'est pas viable aujourd'hui. Pourquoi ?On a l'impression que l'IA est un logiciel comme un autre, alors qu'elle repose sur une infrastructure physique extrêmement coûteuse. Les investissements se chiffrent en dizaines, voire en centaines de milliards, alors que la valeur créée et le chiffre d'affaires ne suivent pas. Il y a un découplage complet, si bien qu'à un moment donné, il n'y a pas d'autre solution que de voir les prix augmenter.L'impact environnemental est au cœur de votre analyse. Que montrent vos chiffres ?Il y a une explosion du nombre d'utilisateurs et de la complexité des requêtes. Une requête simple sur GPT-4 consomme à peu près autant qu'une requête Google, mais sur GPT-5, le coût énergétique est quasiment cent fois plus élevé. Et générer cinq minutes de vidéo sur Gemini consomme autant d'énergie que charger une Tesla. Sur le long terme, ça ne peut pas durer.Que recommandez-vous aux entreprises et aux particuliers ?Aux entreprises, je dis d'identifier précisément toutes leurs dépendances et vulnérabilités, sur toute la chaîne de valeur, et d'anticiper le coût réel de l'IA. Aux particuliers, j'ai un message simple : arrêtez de générer des vidéos de chats. Ça équivaut à charger une Tesla.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

ASEAN’s electricity demand is set to nearly triple by 2050, and renewables alone won’t be enough to keep the lights on. One option making a quiet comeback is nuclear power—this time in the form of small modular reactors (SMRs) that are safer, smaller, and more flexible than the plants of the past. On Industry Insight, Trung Ghi, Partner and Head of Energy & Utilities Practice at Arthur D. Little, explains why SMRs are gaining traction across Southeast Asia, how new technologies like AI and 3D printing are reshaping nuclear’s future, and why Singapore can still play a leadership role in policy and safety without building a reactor.

In this episode of the Org Design Podcast, host Tim Brewer welcomes Herman Vantrappen, a seasoned management consultant and author, to discuss the intricacies of organizational design. Herman shares his journey into the field, beginning with his early experiences in management consulting at Arthur D. Little. He emphasizes the importance of having a comprehensive framework for organizational design that allows for nuanced debates among executives, as well as the need for leaders to take ownership of redesign processes.

Throughout the conversation, Herman discusses the core themes of his recent book, "The Organization Design Guide," co-authored with Frederic Wirtz, which aims to provide leaders with the tools and insights needed to navigate the complexities of organizational change successfully. The episode is packed with practical advice for CEOs and managers looking to improve their organization's design and effectiveness.

Click here to purchase your ticket.About Simon Michel:Simon Michel is the CEO of Ypsomed, the leading developer and manufacturer of injection systems for self-medication. He is also the head of Swiss Startup Supporters, a new startup days initiative. Simon holds an MA in Media and Communications Management from HSG and worked for the consultancy Arthur D. Little and the telecommunications company Orange Communications SA before joining his father's company, Ypsomed, in 2006.In 1984, a company named Disetronic was founded by the brothers Willy and Peter Michel (Willy being Simon's father), in Burgdorf, Switzerland. Disetronic was the first company to introduce a micro insulin pump to the medtech/pharma market. Besides its infusion systems, Disetronic also specialised in injection systems. In 2003, co-founder and main shareholder Willy Michel sold Disetronic's infusion business to Roche and kept the injection business — that's how Ypsomed was born.Simon first joined Ypsomed as a Business Development Manager of Diabetes Care, and rose through the ranks until he became CEO in 2014. He credits this gradual rise, based on concrete achievements within the company, as the reason for his easy integration in its team. Nowadays Ypsomed focuses on the treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, polyarthritis, Alzheimer and migraines. On 22 September 2004, Ypsomed was registered on SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticket SWX:YPSN.Simon is also affiliated with FDP (The Liberals party) and is a member of Switzerland's National Council. When asked about Switzerland's political strengths and weaknesses, he identified the following strengths: Strong majority support: Switzerland takes an average of 6 years to get a new law approved. This makes its political system quite slow, but this slowness has the advantage of ensuring majority support for many of the laws approved. Strong R&D: The Swiss government invests CHF 10B per year in education and research, out of a CHF 90B budget. This results in a robust education system. Independence and neutrality, which give Switzerland international credibility.Simon also identified 2 weaknesses in Switzerland's political system: Speed: This system is, indeed, quite slow, and unnecessarily so, in Simon's opinion. Left vs Right disagreements: Simon opposes the Swiss left's ideas of rebuilding Switzerland as a state-run operation less reliant on private enterprise. He considers this a political weakness.The cover portrait was edited by www.smartportrait.ioDon't forget to give us a follow on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin, so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

In this episode, Rick Williams, a seasoned executive, advisor, board director, prolific writer - - and the author of the new book, Create the Future, shares his journey writing the book and key leadership takeaways. Rick's core idea in Create the Future is that leaders create the future by the decisions they make Impactful leaders believe they can create the future, and they change uncertainty into hope and possibility. Rick discusses the CTF process of making great decisions for companies and individuals including the importance of board dynamics and how to harness the collective wisdom of a diverse group to make impactful decisions. We love our listeners! Drop us a line or give us guest suggestions here. Big Ideas/Thoughts/Quotes 1. Journey of Writing Create the Future · Initial book concept during travels in North Africa while sitting in a café in Casablanca · Wrote the book and refined it with the help of a professional editor. · It took more time than I expected to choose the right publisher, Amplify, to bring the book to market. 2. Overview of Create the Future Create the Future outlines the process and the tools successful leaders use when they must make an important decision - when they must get it right. Rick profiles the Five Step decision making process major consulting firms recommend for making important decisions and brings the tools and techniques to organizations off all sizes. Create the Future is a guidebook for leaders who want to turn their leadership team into a powerful creative engine for defining the challenge, imagining success, creating realistic options, evaluating execution barriers, and finally choosing the path forward. 3. The Five-Step Decision-Making Process “I spent quite a bit of time on how do you as a leadership team - a board of directors for example - how do you actually go about deciding what you're really going to do.” “This book outlines the five steps that we all either instinctively use, or should be using, when we have an important decision to make.” · Define the real opportunity or threat. · Identify what success looks like · Be creative about the options. · Evaluate execution barriers. · Make the final decision. 4. Factors to be Considered in Decision Making · How close do the decisions come to achieving the goals you set? · Where are they in the risk profile in terms of acceptable risk to you or unacceptable risk to you? · How do they express the values that you may have as a company owner or your board may have. 5. Examples and Applications The CTF process makes sure that everybody on the board participates in the conversation, their point of view is heard, and they hear each other talk about it. They hear each other say what they really are trying to accomplish. “We talk about success, which sounds like a simple idea, but the notion of what are we really trying to achieve is one that often we don't spend enough time on.” “Value is not created by the ideas we come up with - value is created through execution on the decisions we make.” “Often we as board members either don't have time or haven't fully thought through what are the values that we bring to the decisions we make, what are our risk preferences, and also what are the values and goals of other people on our board and how do they factor into this?” In the end, the board will make a decision, and the people who participate in this will say: “You know, I may not fully agree with where we're going to go, but my voice was heard, and I now understand what other people are trying to do and where they're coming from.” Joe: If you have the people in the room, whoever they may be board or otherwise, feeling at the end of the process like their voice has been heard, their ideas have been heard, and at least considered - - that alone is success.

Invité du Podcast de l'Aviation cette semaine, Vincent Bamberger, managing partner du cabinet Arthur D Little.Après un rappel de la répartition des émissions de CO2 par les différentes activités de l'aviation, Vincent Bamberger retrace les enjeux technologiques qui vont de pair avec leur décarbonation, les plus difficilement surmontables étant ceux liés aux activités long-courrier et à la production de carburants durables d'aviation. Au-delà des défis technologiques devront être surmontés des défis financiers vertigineux, Arthur D Little estimant que l'investissement pour atteindre 35 % de SAF dans les avions en 2040 représentera 4 700 milliards de dollars au seul niveau de la France.Plusieurs pistes sont exposées pour parvenir à ce montant mais une chose est certaine, les pouvoirs publics ne pourront pas rester en retrait, il faudra une action au niveau mondial et une redéfinition des positionnements dans la chaîne de valeur.
US space agency NASA's Administrator Bill Nelson is in India today to meet top government and ISRO officials, as both countries look to deepen their space exploration and scientific research partnership. The visit by Nelson, a former US senator, “fulfills a commitment through the US and India initiative on critical and emerging technology spearheaded by President Joe Biden,” Nasa said in a press release on Nov. 24. Nelson was appointed as the 14th Nasa administrator in May 2021. During this visit to India, he is expected visit several locations, including the Bengaluru-based facilities where the NISAR spacecraft, a joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), is undergoing testing and integration for launch in 2024. NISAR is short for NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar. It is the first satellite mission between NASA and ISRO. It is an Earth-observing instrument, the first in the Earth System Observatory, which was announced by NASA last year. The observatory will be put in space via five satellite missions, including Nisar, which is set for launch next year. The observatory will measure Earth's changing ecosystems, dynamic surfaces, and ice masses providing information about biomass, natural hazards, sea level rise, and groundwater, key information to guide efforts related to climate change, hazard mitigation, agriculture, and so on. Senator Nelson is also expected to meet students to discuss STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and how they can participate in the Artemis program, Nasa's initiative to return humans to the Moon and make it a launchpad for missions to Mars. The Nasa chief is also expected to travel to UAE during this trip to participate in the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference. Over the last few years, India has opened up its space efforts to private industry and startups and established the institutional infrastructure and policies to foster this ecosystem. The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) is tasked with expanding the commercialization of India's space tech capabilities. In April, the government also released India's space policy, to promote a comprehensive approach to the space economy opportunity ahead. The government's estimate projects India's space market to be worth $40 billion in 2030. This could go as high as $100 billion, the consultancy Arthur D. Little says, if investments and efforts in certain focus areas are stepped up. Meanwhile, OneWeb India, the local subsidiary of low-earth orbit operator Eutelsat OneWeb, said last week, it had become the first company to receive India's go ahead to launch its commercial satellite broadband services. Bharti Airtel owns about 21 percent of UK-based OneWeb, which was recently merged with Europe's Eutelsat. Other multinational companies including billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX, which operates the Starlink satellite broadband business, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's project Kuiper, which are all putting large low earth orbit satellite constellations in space are also expected to offer to their services in India. And JioSpaceFiber, part of the Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries, is also in the race to offer its own satellite based internet services in the country soon. On the startups front, Indian space tech startups have gone from raising only $35 million in funding between 2010 and 2019, to $28 million in 2020 to $96 million in 2021 and $112 million in 2022, according to Tracxn, a private markets intelligence provider. This year the sector has attracted $62 million in funding as of August, according to Tracxn. Indian space startups are developing a range of technologies and products, including hyperspectral imaging, 3D-printed rocket engines, satellite propulsion systems and sustainable less toxic rocket fuels.

Invité du Podcast de l'Aviation cette semaine, Pascal de Izaguirre, président de la Fédération nationale de l'aviation et de ses métiers (FNAM).Dans une tentative de faire taire les polémiques autour de l'aviation générale et d'affaires, la FNAM et d'autres organisations du secteur (UAF, EBAA, GIPAG et SNEH) ont commandé une étude à Arthur D Little sur l'impact économique et social de ce secteur. Elle rappelle notamment que cette aviation représente 36 000 emplois directs et concerne souvent des missions de service public, de travail aérien, de lutte contre les incendies...Pascal de Izaguirre insiste également sur le fait que l'aviation d'affaires sera la première à se décarboner et qu'elle officie la plupart du temps sur des liaisons où aucune alternative efficace n'existe.Cependant, c'est un secteur fragile, menacé par les projets de taxation et de réglementation toujours plus coercitifs.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: I learn from being in life, because I know where to look. -Robin Charbit In this episode of “Dream It! Dare it! Do it! Live the Life You Want!” I am speaking with Robin Charbit. I initially heard him speaking on Anna Scott's podcast and later invited him to speak at the 3PGC French Community. As expected, our conversation is inspiring to say the least. The title of my podcast was our starting point, as we reflected on what “living the life we want” can possibly signify. We can live a life in pursuit of something or to construct something or we can just live a life, Robin says. We talk about living with grace. Consequently, he points to the notion that we attain clarity, perspective, empathy, and our birthright capacity for insight as we connect to our humanity. Robin began his career as a chemical engineer with Exxon in 1981, having received his education at Sheffield University in the UK, and eventually led one of Exxon's international plastics businesses. He joined Arthur D. Little in 1992 first in Europe and ultimately, in Boston, where he led and managed the North American Chemicals Practice. With a colleague, he left the more classical consulting world and founded Insight Management Partners, to bring an understanding of how the mind works into business. He then met Ken Manning and they joined forces to create Insight Principles. Robin was born in the UK to French parents and met his Belgian wife, Sabine, in Switzerland. They now live in Boston. When time permits, Robin enjoys all things mechanical (cars, woodworking, home projects) and is an avid cinemaphile.

The longevity revolution is upon us, as more and more studies are being done to discover ways to increase lifespan. One of the strongest advocates of this revolution? Vince Giuliano, living a healthy and active life at the young age of 93! In this episode, Vince Giuliano and Joe discuss how he's made it into his 90s in tiptop shape, how he tackles health issues that come his way, and what he would have done differently if he can travel back in time. Vince talks about how he got his HRV levels to outperform young and healthy athletes, and shares some of his favorite supplements - specifically one that he has been taking for nearly 40 years! Vince also talks about non-supplemental ways that you can implement in your life to improve your health and increase your longevity.

There is a lot of hype around the idea of the metaverse. In this conversion, I am joined by Dr Albert Meige, director of Blue Shift at Arthur D. Little. We take a look at what the metaverse really is and untangle the amazing business opportunities it offers to companies today.
Quiet Quitting has recently captured the imagination of employers and employees alike. Is it a new concept or is it a new name for something that is as old as industry itself? Quiet Quitters are described as those who continue to be employed in a company but just do their job and no more. They are not seen as going above and beyond. Some experts argue that that is all right. Others say, the level of engagement is to be seen distinctly from working only the average 40 hours a week and that Quiet Quitters could actually be contributing by working only 8-9 hours a day. Today, we are joined by Barnik Maitra, Managing Partner for India and South Asia at Arthur D. Little, which is said to be the oldest management consulting company.

Starting off a business is one of the major challenges most aspiring entrepreneurs face. Some of these young and aspiring entrepreneurs have good business plans and strategies, but the fear of starting has prevented their business ideas from coming out of the box. Oftentimes, this fear is risk-related. Fear is a common phenomenon associated with most Startups, but what makes you an entrepreneur is the ability to summon up courage and face anything that might crop up during business idea implementation. Businesses have different levels of risk. Brajesh Singh, President, Arthur D Little, India talks about agropreneurship.

As a society, we have been accustomed to energy and resources being available and uninterrupted 365 days a year. However, the war in Ukraine, the looming climate emergency, and conflicts in the last century, such as the oil crisis of the 1970s and the Gulf War in 1980, remind us how fragile the energy supply can be. The ongoing disruptions will have long-lasting global implications on geopolitics and the energy sector at large. Energy And Resources Sector Most companies in the energy and resources sector will need to go through a period of unprecedented change if they are to be fit for purpose in an increasingly decarbonized, decentralized, and digitalized world. This transition has a disruptive impact, be it carbon regulation, new technologies, emergence of new market players, or convergence of industry verticals. Such “convergence” is now one of the biggest drivers of marketplace change, creating not just new revenue streams, but also potential threats to established players. These changes are leading to the evolution of an ever-expanding ecosystem of players, something that is not just accelerating the speed of innovation, but also leading to development of increasingly integrated offerings that better meet the growing customer demand for more sustainable products and services. Decarbonization, Digitalization and Decentralization Three key trends are currently shaping the energy market. The first, decarbonization — net zero — is the most important overarching trend for all sectors and the world in general. It increasingly underpins the economic policies of many countries. Inevitably, decarbonization is having a fundamental impact on the strategic thinking and future investment decisions of companies in all sectors. The second is the need to digitize operations to meet the needs of marketplaces that are driven ever more by transparency, seamlessness, and speed of delivery. Digitalization is central to improving efficiency and enhancing the customer experience across every sector. It also has a major role to play in stimulating innovative ideas and ensuring they are turned as quickly as possible into real-life solutions for customers. The third trend is decentralization — movement to a far more localized solution to deliver a service rather than relying on much wider national or regional infrastructure. This is evidenced, for instance, by siting wind farms close to urban areas or using microgeneration, such as photovoltaic (PV) rooftop panels on new housing developments and encouraging users to take greater responsibility for how they consume energy. All these elements are feeding into new business models that are focused on much greater sustainability, a thread that is running through every component of society. In the energy sector, the introduction of carbon capture and other cleantech is now central to both day-to-day operations and strategic decision-making, given the growing significance of environmental, social, and governance standards on corporate thinking. It is with these measures in mind that companies must assess their day-to-day operations and longer-term strategic decisions. While the unique situation of each player means there is no one-size strategy that fits all, the direction of travel is now relatively well established for everyone. By Michael Kruse, Global Leader, Energy & Utilities Practice, Arthur D. Little.
While we are not seeing the end of banking, we are observing a changing of the guard in financial services. Powered by a deluge of funding, fintech firms are altering the battlefield for customers and relationships. Without quick and decisive action, legacy financial institutions could become invisible to consumers and small businesses by 2030. To a degree, this has already occurred in payments. What's next? We are very fortunate to have Philippe De Backer and Juan Gonzalez from Arthur D. Little on the Banking Transformed podcast. They discuss the challenges facing traditional banking organizations and the actions that must be taken today for long-term survival.
Philippe De Backer and Juan Gonzalez are coming back for a second episode on LID Radio. This time they discuss whether traditional banks can strike back and compete with the NeoBanks. Philippe De Backer is Managing Partner and Global Practice Leader of Financial Services at Arthur D. Little. Philippe draws from his extensive experience as a global leader in financial services to share a proactive view on the disruption in banking and emerging business models, which are reshaping the sector and many industries as traditional business boundaries are blurring. Juan Gonzalez is a Partner at Arthur D. Little. He has worked extensively on the impact of technological change on the information flows that shape organizations and their interactions with their environment. Philippe and Juan are co-authors of the book Disruption, together with Arthur D. Little's CEO Ignacio Garcia Alves. Disruption provides a critical understanding of the impact of the current economic crisis and the current industrial revolution on financial services, the new trends in the sector, and the opportunities for banks to leverage their unique assets and pre-empt challengers from gaining meaningful market share. The book also provides top-level advice about transforming financial services organizations by finding the right balance between short-term requirements and the imperative of long-term change. This balancing act is what the authors call the “ambidextrous approach”, which requires focus on two strategic initiatives: performance and innovation.

This special episode of the podcast was recorded live in front of an audience in February 2022 at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London and features a panel of experts discussing a very interesting subject of Space-Based solar power.I was joined on stage by Martin Soltau Co-Chair Space Energy Initiative & Space Business Lead at Frazer-Nash ConsultancyDr Alice Bunn CEO Institution of Mechanical EngineersSam Adlen Chief Strategy Officer, Satellite Applications Catapult andAli Stickings Space Strategy lead at Fraser Nash ConsultancyYou will also hear remarks from Mark Garnier, MP for Wyre Forest who is Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Space, and Chair of The Space Energy Initiative Advisory Board as well as Nick Wayth Chief Executive at The Energy Institute.To provide some context around this episode and the topic, we all accept that fossil fuels are not a sustainable form of energy, and renewable energy such as solar and wind have issues when it is cloudy or calm.To meet the energy needs of a country like the UK or Australia, we need a “baseload” technology that can provide a sustained demand for power.The UK chapter of The Institution of Engineers Australia teamed up with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for their monthly “Spring Forward” hybrid lecture series to look at a potential new form of energy – Space-Based Solar Power.The concept is not new – it was first mooted by Isaac Asimov as science fiction in the 1940s, and in 1968, Dr Peter Glaser of Arthur D. Little introduced the concept of using microwaves for power transmission from geosynchronous orbit to an Earth-based rectifying antenna.Since then, technology has advanced on several fronts to remove some of the technological and economic barriers to practical full-scale implementation.Issues covered in this episode include:How Space-Based power actually worksThe opportunity for generating power from spaceHow to overcome challenges in commercialising this technologyHow space-based solar power contributes to the net-zero debateThe future for space-based solar power generationHow Space solar power gives Governments optionsSolar power vs Nuclear FusionWhat will the solution cost?The regulatory risksThe role of GovernmentThe security concernsWho regulates the space segmentThe spin-off benefitsWhat other countries are doing?The UK-Australia Space BridgeThe Space Energy InitiativeThe job creation opportunitiesNick Wayth Chief Executive at Energy Institute commentsAudience question: How can the UK maintain a lead in this area?Audience question: What is happening in Australia?Audience question: What can go wrong?Mark Garnier MP closing remarksResources UK Government's paper on Space-Based Solar PowerYour Host: Actionable Futurist® Andrew GrillFor more on Andrew - what he speaks about and replays of recent talks, please visit ActionableFuturist.comfollow @AndrewGrill on Twitteror @andrew.grill on Instagram.
Fusion occurs when two atoms slam together to form a heavier atom, such as when two hydrogen atoms fuse to form one helium atom. A tremendous amount of energy is released in the process. This is the same process that powers the sun. In the sun's core, where temperatures reach 15,000,000C, hydrogen atoms are in a constant state of agitation. As they collide at very high speeds, the natural electrostatic repulsion that exists between the positive charges of their nuclei is overcome and the atoms fuse. Without fusion, there would be no life on Earth. Significant research has been done to better understand the fusion process since the concept was first theorized in the 1920s. Scientists have answered most of the key physics questions behind fusion. Today, in southern France, 35 nations are collaborating to build the world's largest tokamak—a magnetic fusion device designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy. The ITER project, as it is known, is expected to be the first fusion device to produce “net energy,” which is the term used when the total power produced during a fusion plasma pulse surpasses the thermal power injected to heat the plasma. ITER could be the first fusion device to maintain fusion for long periods of time, and it is expected to be the first fusion device to test the integrated technologies, materials, and physics regimes necessary for the commercial production of fusion-based electricity. “I'm optimistic. I think in 10 to 15 years, we could have a commercial fusion energy plant producing electricity on the grid,” Chuck Goodnight, lead partner in the U.S. on U.S. Nuclear Energy as part of Arthur D. Little's Global Energy & Utilities practice, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. If Goodnight's prediction is correct, the entire landscape of power generation could be transformed not only in the U.S., but also around the world. “In the 1950s, we had very few nuclear power plants, and then in the U.S. within 35 years or so we had 100,” Goodnight said. “I can envision that same future for small modular reactors and fusion—and that could be global in my vision. And at that point, hopefully, there's renewables, there's fission, there's fusion, and there ultimately would be no carbon-based fuel systems running. And people could look around the planet and look back with gratitude to the people of today that have spent time and money and energy and sweat to make these technologies viable and to get them to market and to get them into a grid that is sustainable,” he said. “So, I'm optimistic because we've got a lot of smart people and quite a bit of funding now behind these ideas to get these things going, and the government's behind them and the private equity behind them and private funding and innovative people that are clearly a big part of this. I think there's a lot of reasons to be optimistic about our future,” said Goodnight.
