The New Longitude Prize, what gets your vote?
Discussion
So, the new Longitude 10M Prize is now open to public votes, which of the topics gets your vote?
The Longitude Prize
For me:
Low carbon Air transport: NO (just stop pointlessly flying round the world to sit on a beach)
Water for everyone: NO (We have the technical solution to this already, just not the political will)
Future Antibiotics: NO (the pharmaceutical companies already have enough cash to develop these if they wanted to)
Paralysis Cure: MAYBE - lots of interesting technology, both medical and social could help with this one
Dementia: MAYBE - this is going to become an increasing problem as medical science allows us to live longer
Food: YES - The one subject that is likely to affect both the most people and the poorest people, as competition for food and energy colide in the next 20 years!
What are the rest of you voting for??
