and oh very interesting things so let’s
and oh very interesting things so let’s look at sustainable energy if you want
look at sustainable energy if you want
look at sustainable energy if you want to make solar energy cheaper than coal
to make solar energy cheaper than coal
to make solar energy cheaper than coal what do you have to do you have to make
what do you have to do you have to make
what do you have to do you have to make that device much more efficient so one
that device much more efficient so one
that device much more efficient so one way of doing that is to look at the cost
way of doing that is to look at the cost
way of doing that is to look at the cost of the solar energy converter and the
of the solar energy converter and the
of the solar energy converter and the look at the cost of a mirror if I can
look at the cost of a mirror if I can
look at the cost of a mirror if I can take light and then concentrate it onto
take light and then concentrate it onto
take light and then concentrate it onto an expensive device I can raise the
an expensive device I can raise the
an expensive device I can raise the productivity of the device so that was
productivity of the device so that was
productivity of the device so that was one of the projects that our colleagues
one of the projects that our colleagues
one of the projects that our colleagues at IBM research in Zurich and our
at IBM research in Zurich and our
at IBM research in Zurich and our yorktown labs did trying to concentrate
yorktown labs did trying to concentrate
yorktown labs did trying to concentrate light you know thousands of times almost
light you know thousands of times almost
light you know thousands of times almost 2,000 times concentration of course you
2,000 times concentration of course you
2,000 times concentration of course you have to cool this so we used ideas from
have to cool this so we used ideas from
have to cool this so we used ideas from data center cooling technologies to be
data center cooling technologies to be

did not fall in cost as fast as we want
did not fall in cost as fast as we want and you know the the you know imperative
and you know the the you know imperative
and you know the the you know imperative of climate change is much faster so
of climate change is much faster so
of climate change is much faster so we’re doing take two we are looking at
we’re doing take two we are looking at
we’re doing take two we are looking at something that’s already falling in cost
something that’s already falling in cost
something that’s already falling in cost that is solar panels and then putting
that is solar panels and then putting
that is solar panels and then putting mirrors around them and then we are
mirrors around them and then we are
mirrors around them and then we are attaching the internet of things to it
attaching the internet of things to it
attaching the internet of things to it and we are adding artificial
and we are adding artificial
and we are adding artificial intelligence we are looking at the sky
intelligence we are looking at the sky
intelligence we are looking at the sky taking selfies of the sky we are
taking selfies of the sky we are
taking selfies of the sky we are processing information we understand how
processing information we understand how
processing information we understand how much dust is there on a panel we can add
much dust is there on a panel we can add
much dust is there on a panel we can add light and then you know produce more
light and then you know produce more
light and then you know produce more electricity so what is happening the
electricity so what is happening the
electricity so what is happening the mirror is becoming intelligent to
mirror is becoming intelligent to
mirror is becoming intelligent to determine how much light I delivered to
determine how much light I delivered to
determine how much light I delivered to a panel in the optimal way and that can
a panel in the optimal way and that can
a panel in the optimal way and that can create more energy right and what we see
create more energy right and what we see
create more energy right and what we see is that this can drive energy heels up
is that this can drive energy heels up
is that this can drive energy heels up you can get more out of the same solar
you can get more out of the same solar
you can get more out of the same solar panel and then you can reduce the cost
panel and then you can reduce the cost
panel and then you can reduce the cost or amortized costs think about if I have
or amortized costs think about if I have
or amortized costs think about if I have a plane that is running at fourteen
a plane that is running at fourteen
a plane that is running at fourteen fifteen percent if utilization versus
fifteen percent if utilization versus
fifteen percent if utilization versus double that level you can announce it if
double that level you can announce it if
double that level you can announce it if you double utilization were yield you
you double utilization were yield you
you double utilization were yield you can have the costs right so so that’s an
can have the costs right so so that’s an
can have the costs right so so that’s an example of what we’re doing with mirrors
example of what we’re doing with mirrors
example of what we’re doing with mirrors and solar so let’s turn from mirrors to
and solar so let’s turn from mirrors to
and solar so let’s turn from mirrors to the images that they create okay and I
the images that they create okay and I
the images that they create okay and I talk to you about the mirror being the
talk to you about the mirror being the
talk to you about the mirror being the original selfie

you know you can do this with selfies so for example with the data that is
so for example with the data that is
so for example with the data that is publicly available today you can go from
publicly available today you can go from
publicly available today you can go from a world scale to a national scale to a
