Several scientists and other relevant representatives of the technological era sought from that time on to provide information and publicly express concerns in regards to the use of new weapons of mass destruction developed from emerging technologies.

Storing energy is ruled out by both the interviewer and interviewee as among the most important issues to be addressed, as well as making renewable forces more accessible.
