The societal cost of this condition is huge, in the US alone, maybe 35 to 80 billion dollars.

Through a healthier, more fearless, more self confident and imaginative societal foundation, many things would gain new significance.

To tell you the kinds of societal challenges that are going to come up in the new machine age,

And the benefit to the sponsors is the sum of the publicity and societal benefits over the long term.

Every time mankind has been able to access a new source of energy, it has led to profound societal implications.
