Juan Enriquez predicts our future at TED

He largely argues for using biotech to rebuild our failing economy. Notables: About one-third into the speech, he briefly mentions Iceland and Japan. About 5/6th of the way through, he talks about extinct hominids.

In another TED lecture he argues oil and coal are only concentrated hydrocarbons, which can be converted to gas by bacteria far more efficiently than we currently convert corn to ethanol.
