And I think really the problem there is batteries and transmission.

So, you know, as well as more efficient, more and more efficient solar material, perhaps eventually, you know, in space, you know, these kind of Dyson sphere type ideas.

And fusion, I think, is definitely doable, it seems, if we have the right design, but

of reactor and we can control the plasma and fast enough and so on.

And I think both of those things will actually get solved.

So we'll probably have at least, those are probably the two primary sources of renewable, clean, almost free, or perhaps free energy.

I would not be that surprised if there's a, like a hundred year timescale from here.

I mean, I think it's pretty clear if we crack the energy problems in one of the ways we've just discussed fusion or, or very efficient solar.

Um,

then if energy is kind of free and renewable and clean, then that solves a whole bunch of other problems.

So for example, the water access problem goes away because you can just use desalination.

We have the technology, it's just too expensive.

So only fairly wealthy countries like Singapore and Israel and so on actually use it.

But if it was cheap, then all countries that have a coast could.

But also you'd have unlimited rocket fuel.

You could just separate seawater out into hydrogen and oxygen using energy, and that's rocket fuel.

So combined with Elon's amazing self-landing rockets, then it could be like a bus service to space.

So that opens up space.

incredible new resources and domains.

Asteroid mining, I think, will become a thing and maximum human flourishing to the stars.
