This Humans of New York Facebook post reminded of what we did in class.

“I’m retired now. But I was the CEO of the NY State Energy Research and Development Authority.”
“What’s something about energy that a lot of people don’t know?”
“Energy is the main source of pollution. I don’t think enough people make that connection. They think of pollution as giant industries spewing smoke into the air, but in reality it mainly comes from the energy that we use everyday– driving our cars, lighting our houses, even that camera you’re using. We’re never going to stop needing energy, so we just have to find the most efficient ways of creating it.”
