Dr. David Mills believes that the switch to a complete photon commercial economy is finally underway. Huge wind and solar projects are emerging and more steam turbines are now sold for solar than nuclear projects. David shares his views on the pros and cons of current and future photon-based technologies, and reveals how they will make us healthier and wealthier. He says we have inherited a planet full of systems that we do not yet understand and that we will need to innovate ethically, as well as technically, to survive.
