Our friend Verne Harnish publishes a wonderful weekly email with insights and links to thought provoking stories from around the world. I highly recommend it; you can sign up here.
This week, Verne featured an article by Thomas Friedman that appeared in the March 6 New York Times. It’s an inspiring article about two Indian-American dreamers, Vinod Khosla and K. R. Sridhar. Khosla is working with Stanford professor Brent Constantz on creating clean energy from coal and gas. Khosla and Constantz were inspired by coral! Sridhar founded Bloom Energy, home of the Bloom Box. If you have not heard of the Bloom Box, they are small generating plants being tested by Google, Wal-Mart and others. You may have a Bloom Box at your house one day. It’s a great read; a very inspiring story. You can read Friedman’s article on the Times website.
