    RIP Professor MacKay

    I remember him giving this talk to my physics class when I was in University. It was so inspirational to me that the UK just might be able to go 100% renewable.

    From what I remember, the calculation worked out how we could do it all with Solar. I don't think he quite saw how close we are to achieving the goal, not with Solar, but with Wind within the next decade.
