Yesterday, I sat down with renowned educator and scientist Bill Nye The Science Guy to talk about how we can transform our energy system to renewable energy. Last year, the number of U.S. jobs in solar energy overtook those in oil and natural gas for the first time. As Mr. Nye says, we can solve this problem, but only if we have the courage to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and make it clear that we are going forward with investing in green jobs and protecting our environment. | U.S. Senat

Bill Nye is more than just the science guy - he’s a space guy too. He’s behind a solar sail spacecraft that uses energy from light particles to fly through space – and could be used to travel to other planets, for potentially infinite distances: cnn.com/savedbythefuture | CNN
