It's time to think big.

Our 'Big Green Ideas' video gallery takes a look at superlative examples of optimistic green engineering plans that you don't come across every day.

Despite the need for the science, funding and ambition to coalesce in order to get these projects beyond the drawing board, we find ourselves covering stories like these more often. From solar cars on Planet Green's G Word to the massive alternative energy and clean air efforts covered on Discovery Channel's Project Earth and Science Channel's Ecopolis to simple ideas like harnessing the kinetic energy of a rotating door or the power of river currents in an underwater turbine that helps electrify New York City.

Special thanks to our sister networks, Discovery Channel, Science Channel and Discovery News for sharing and helping curate these clips.

Please add comments to the clips and let us know what you think of these forward-looking projects.
