You know, we have this clear demand that fossil fuels are needed for and then we restrict fossil fuels some and we start getting these big problems when we were told we would get big wealth.

We haven't even reduced the supply of fossil fuels in the world. We've just slowed the growth and we're having all these problems. There's no single town on the planet that runs entirely on renewables.

Even if it creates something like an air pollution challenge, it can also create the technology that can filter the air. And if anyone happens to get sick, it can also create the whole medical industry.

I've been at this 17 years now. And it's definitely at a peak in terms of enthusiasm and opportunity in this sphere. And I think it's interesting to break down. So maybe I'll do my own part last and the part of sort of people who think like me. But there are a few other developments that are... that are notable and they're all sort of intertwined.

But one that's, one of the interesting ones that I take no credit for, but is very fortuitous intellectually, is the dramatic increase in electricity demand that is occurring right now.

Yeah, right, exactly. So specifically data centers and within that, AI. And in particular, where you see it is with the very large digital tech companies and what their role has been in the energy debate so far and then how it has drastically changed in the last year or two. So if you look at even in 2022, what's the posture of the big tech companies for the past years before that?

It's overwhelmingly a posture of we are 100% renewable and you should be too. And then politically advocating the net zero by 2050 kind of goal, which basically means rapidly eliminate fossil fuels. And prosperity. Yeah. And so you have them, and you have to think of them as they're just an incredible center of gravity in the culture.
