你如何說服美國公眾,整個國家,乃至整個世界,都可以利用風能、太陽能和水能來產生所有能源? 上《大衛·萊特曼深夜秀》,真誠地展示你在《大眾科學》上發表的計劃,然後讓萊特曼對你微笑。

馬克·雅各布森在10月9日就這樣做了。雅各布森是斯坦福大學土木與環境工程教授,他撰寫了我們2009年11月的封面故事,到2030年實現可持續能源的道路。 雖然他在節目中沒有提及該雜誌,並且他當然一直在推進他的研究,但他公佈了他在他那篇高度視覺化的文章中提出的相同計劃。《大衛·萊特曼深夜秀》的片段如下。 當它開始時,很容易感覺到那種熟悉的氛圍——萊特曼要嘲笑這個怪才或讓他難堪。 但萊特曼被雅各布森的願景迷住了,讓採訪持續了10分鐘——在電視行業中這已經很長了。 最後,萊特曼要求雅各布森直接對著鏡頭說“告訴人們一切都會好起來的”。 雅各布森照做了! 並且毫不猶豫地發表了一小段演講,而萊特曼只是坐在那裡對他微笑。
