A couple of weekends ago I was able to see Bill Nye @TheScienceGuy speak at the Homestead National Monument in Beatrice NE. It was a beautiful fall day for 300-400 people to sit and listen. I was expecting a few basic experiments similar to the TV show, but instead it was more of a speech lecture. The topic varied but some of the main points were sustainability, and the future and importance of science.
At the end there was a long Q&A session, and the topics were all over the place. Controversial questions were asked and they were handled in a dignified way. Bill Nye did not try and stay in the middle of the road, instead voicing his strong opinion on some topics such as global warming, nuclear energy’s future, etc. He did keep stressing finding a way to store energy efficiently and that it could “Make you Rich”!
I took several photos during the speech, and a few are below. I was glad I went.
