Publisher's Summary:
Mouna Andraos is an artist and web designer who's been fascinated by street vendors since her childhood in Lebanon. She created a working portable generator that uses a crank and a solar cell to charge cell phones and laptops, and even run small appliances. Ada Lee Halofsky hit the New York City streets with Andraos to see the Power Cart in action.
Next, Frances Arnold is a biochemical engineer at Cal Tech working on one part of the energy crisis. In a process called "directed evolution," Arnold's team is altering the genetic codes of bacteria to evolve a strain of organisms than can digest grass and excrete biofuel.
Then, in Hesperia, California, architect Nader Khalili created a housing movement for the future. Khalili, who passed away in March 2008, prototyped his dome-shaped adobes on a commission from NASA for a lunar colony. Then he realized that his "superadobes" could take root on Earth. Studio 360's Eric Molinsky visited Cal-Earth with some friends who dream of living in giant igloos made of dirt.
Finally, the New York subway system has one of the best environmental designs of recent years: Coney Island's Stillwell Avenue terminal, one block from the Atlantic Ocean, is topped by a state-of-the-art photovoltaic glass roof. Kurt checked it out with architect Greg Kiss. [Broadcast Date: April 10, 2010]
