I concur - brilliant quote. I was thinking about this earlier today, how to put into words the seeming inadequacy of 'green' / 'alternative' energy projects. Some of them might really be good alternatives by now but what we really need is an 'exponential' breakthrough.
Quote of the freaking century.

This is not just a matter of replacing the current energy sources with greener alternatives.
This is about finding radically new ways to mine the universe for power because we sure are going to need it in order to survive and progress.
