The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Reid Hoffman on The Trump Administration | Elon Musk and DOGE | The US Defence Budget, NATO and The War in Ukraine | China, Tariffs and TikTok | The Future of Chips, Nuclear Energy, Quantum Computing and Climate

How do we apportion costs? How do we do all this stuff? How do we add intelligence to all this? That's one. Two, maybe even more significant, which by the way, that means AI technology can actually be a net energy saver as we apply it to the inference cost to all the electricity we're doing in the future. Number two is, well, what's happening as a boon for green energy right now

All of the major hyperscalers are doing multi-billion dollar commitments to green energy companies saying, if you can deliver the energy, we will give you the initial customer capital to build that. And by the way, we will subsidize because energy is always expensive when it's small and cheaper as it gets bigger.

We will pay the expense at the beginning to start building your nuclear, to build your geothermal, to build your solar. in order to do that. So they are functioning as the R&D venture capital for creating green energy for the entire society in building their new data centers. So that's another thing where AI is coming out to building green energy.

Look, the most far-fetched and unclear is it's also possible, but I think this is more of a science fiction thing is, well, kid, the patterns of intelligence and AI, and people are doing this work, like applying it to, can we get it to make fusion to work?

Can it solve certain problems that then make sustainable green energy possible because of the intelligence that AI can bring in its massive computation to solving these problems? And people are working on that on fusion containment, right? Because if you can make fusion work, you can solve climate change. Can you just unpack that for me, sorry? How does fusion completely solve climate change?

So fusion is the most scalable green energy. You know, the sun is powered by fusion. And obviously, there's various ways to try to use solar that I don't think we've tapped out on and everything from satellites with solar energy collection to various things on the ground. So I think there's a bunch of stuff there.

That's actually, in a sense, an indirect fusion because you have this massive fusion reactor that's known as the sun. But microfusion is both super safe and can produce enormous amounts of power very cheaply. And once you have enormous amounts of power, you can solve significant world crises. So for example, how do you do decarbonization?
