There's quadrillions of liters of water in the atmosphere.
We call it rain when it falls on us, but, uh, there's technologies now coming online at scale.
that for the majority of all countries on the planet you can extract water from the atmosphere so i think the water issue um be solved by desal atmospheric capture and by actually ai uh looking at efficiency of water utilization because we overuse it in some places and not others and then it's going to be recycling of water so
As I wrote in my first book, Abundance of the Future is Better Than You Think, back in 2012, technology takes whatever was scarce and makes it abundant.
We talk about water wars and water scarcity.
There's plenty of water on the planet.
The challenge is 97% is salt, 2% is ice, and we fight over less than 1% of the water in the freshwater.
the the trade-offs between the the technology the government and uh and just popular responses to the idea of a nuclear renaissance yeah so new so energy first is the single innermost loop it's the most important thing we've got going on yeah we've seen chips as the gating factor for a lot of ai
It's no longer chips.
It's now strictly energy, which is why Elon's looking at data centers in orbit.
But in the near term, I think, this is not investment advice, but I'm investing more in energy companies than I am in AI companies.
these days because how fundamental it is.
Nuclear, you know, the challenge is we're stuck in the nuclear paradigm from 30 years ago with Gen 1 and Gen 2 fission plants, which were not safe.
And we saw Fukushima, we saw Three Mile Island, we saw all these disasters.
But the new generation plants are in fact safe.
And
You know, they're coming, small modular reactors are coming, fusion is coming, and we need everything.
We need all of them.
But at this point, you know, I'm fond of saying I would put a nuclear power source in my backyard.
I love it.
