Lanai, an eco-lab? Alyssa Hamilton

Four months ago Larry Ellison bough up almost the entire island of Lanai. Now he says he's going to make it "an eco-lab based on solar power, with electric cars replacing gas guzzlers and sea water transformed into fresh water for an organic farm export industry." As amazing as this sounds and as good as his plan is, is the cost worth the future? For all we know he could spend billions of dollars and the stuff doesn't even work. Personally I'm glad though that this idea was though up by a billionaire so that he can experiment with his own money and not experiment with government money!!

  1. It's good to see someone put forth their time and money for a good cause like this.
