So, you know, if you've ever bought a smart TV and had problems, imagine a TV that instead it just did what it was supposed to.
Yeah, I was.
Look, there's a lot of things that we're working on that are kind of learning from the lessons of the past and trying to just bring them into the future.
Like, what would you rather have?
A smart TV or a TV that shows what you plug into it?
I think I know what most people would want, but that's a pretty retro idea, unfortunately, now.
President Trump is saying that he wants to see defense companies building new plants, building new factories, delivering on time, and then maintaining systems cost-effectively.
And that's, I mean, trying to do more.
That is why I started Anderleet years ago.
But I think we could get several hundred thousand barrels a day of additional production.
Well, it's of interest because there's a lot of money being bet by companies, but also governments on a handful of specific technological paths for electrifying vehicles, battery electric vehicles, hydrogen electric vehicles.
If you can make synthetic long chain hydrocarbon fuels, in other words, synthetic gasoline, synthetic diesel, synthetic jet fuel using carbon from the atmosphere in particular, there's a lot of ways to do it.
Boiling it down, one of the ways to do it, you take water, you crack it into hydrogen and oxygen using some kind of energy source like a nuclear power plant, and then you bond it with carbon to make hydrocarbons.
And now you've got artificial gasoline coming out the other end.
If someone can figure out how to do that cheaply enough, first of all, it's an incredible carbon capture mechanism.
Two, if you can do it cheaply enough, let's say a dollar per gallon, then all of these trillions of dollars in investment into battery electric vehicles and hydrogen electric vehicles become really a waste of money and a waste of time.
There are, of course, some advantages to battery electric vehicles and hydrogen electric vehicles that wouldn't apply.
But for the most part, especially on the aviation side,
the ability to make fuels that just plug into existing, fully known, fully optimized, fully understood, and even fully certified systems that are better than the ones that cost hundreds of billions of dollars to develop that also aren't as good.
Electric planes spend most of their energy hauling around their energy storage, not people or payload, which of course means you need to put more energy into them in the first place than even synthetic fuels with a pretty low conversion efficiency.
