One I would like to see is cheap/clean energy in a system that transports well. Arguably this would solve both food and water issues. IMO an affordable and acessable energy breakthrough could have more impact on the world than anything else on that list.
Also I suspect a challenge like this is more open the the amateur hacker (like those gravity lamps) than most of these. This seems important if trying to crowd source solutions.
- acchow 12y agoEnergy definitely solves water (thanks to desalination). Food is a (wealth) distribution problem. Very different. Clean energy would also obviously solve the polluting airplane problem...
