A Renaissance Weekend

by Eric Drexler on July 1, 2009

I’m heading off to another Renaissance Weekend tomorrow to speak and learn from a range of leaders (nonpartisan!), historians, scientists, entrepreneurs, artists, and the like.

The venue this time is in the Grand Teton National Park near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the internet won’t be quite as accessible as usual. The Renaissance meetings are under the Chatham House Rule, which I like, though it will constrain blogging.

Among other things, I’ll be discussing how developments based on advanced nanotechnology can address the climate change problem providing low-cost solar energy and by removing accumluated CO2 from the atmosphere (which in aggregate will require about 1021 Joules).
