There's a great experiment going on right now as we've put more intermittent energy, led by solar and wind, onto grids. How much can you push that? When that sun or wind go away, something has to be there immediately to back that up. to make it continue to work. And it's brutal managing a grid that has things coming and going.

If you want to clean up the atmosphere emissions, as well as the land, the air and the water, you have to accelerate economic development.

We're not out of energy options, we're out of ideas.

Right. Well, it's good to be here with you. And that's a tough situation and tragic. It's dangerous for human lives when you have major blackouts like that. So I always go back to some of the underlying principles of all these things, Jordan. And I am not against any form of energy. In fact, I've put solar in an indigenous village in Colombia, our Waco people. Oh, that's all they had.

We put three and a half kilowatt array to put light bulbs in mud huts and ceiling fans in a refrigerator. They didn't have wires. They didn't have roads. They didn't have pipes. Right. First electricity. Get started with it. Scaling things is the great challenge in energy. And so when you, let's just think about the physics of these things a little bit. intermittent source of energy.

The sun sets at night and it's cloudy sometimes and sometimes it's cloudy for a long time. The Germans have a word for it, Dunkelflotte. Sometimes it hails, too. And sometimes the wind, you know, quits blowing. So... When that happens in the modern world anyway, the developed world, we like our electricity 24 seven. We want it on. And when it's not on, systems fail, big systems.
