Pollution is just an excessive amount of something in something else. Simplest way to reduce pollution by humans is to reduce the number of humans. (or to put it another way, stop making more humans faster than natural attrition is reducing the number of humans)
Actually, Leonard was anticipating fusion power and decades ahead of his time. Stars use their gas, hydrogen, to make energy by nuclear fusion. They use a combination of gravity and magnetic fields to contain the explosive energy. We can’t use gravity, which is why it’s taking so long.

Identifying the problem, finding a solution is really only the first steps, but actually implementing the solution is the true genius.
