Bill Nye
Please, you don't want to raise a generation of science students who don't understand how we know our place in the cosmos, who don't understand natural law. View quote
Bill Nye

Bill Nye
I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world's energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on. View quote
Bill Nye
When you compare Mars to Earth, and Venus to Earth, you can see the problem [earthlings face]. We do not want to become Venus. (Bill Nye)

Bill Nye
