你如何说服美国公众,整个国家,乃至整个世界,都可以利用风能、太阳能和水能来产生所有能源? 上《大卫·莱特曼深夜秀》,真诚地展示你在《大众科学》上发表的计划,然后让莱特曼对你微笑。

马克·雅各布森在10月9日就这样做了。雅各布森是斯坦福大学土木与环境工程教授,他撰写了我们2009年11月的封面故事,到2030年实现可持续能源的道路。 虽然他在节目中没有提及该杂志,并且他当然一直在推进他的研究,但他公布了他在他那篇高度可视化的文章中提出的相同计划。《大卫·莱特曼深夜秀》的片段如下。 当它开始时,很容易感觉到那种熟悉的氛围——莱特曼要嘲笑这个怪才或让他难堪。 但莱特曼被雅各布森的愿景迷住了,让采访持续了10分钟——在电视行业中这已经很长了。 最后,莱特曼要求雅各布森直接对着镜头说“告诉人们一切都会好起来的”。 雅各布森照做了! 并且毫不犹豫地发表了一小段演讲,而莱特曼只是坐在那里对他微笑。
