551. An Honest Take on the Looming Energy Crisis | Scott Tinker

That little uranium pellet, uranium oxides, thorium, another radioactive element. These are both fission inputs. And in the next period of time, we're not that far away from fusion working, not commercial yet, but fusion, that's hydrogen. It's a pretty common thing.

So we've gotta go, we've gotta get our heads around this idea that to literally lift the world out of poverty and all the good things that come from that, we gotta go dense, dense, dense. You're not going to be doing it with low-density forms of energy. There'll be good pieces of that portfolio, the optionality and energy. I don't mind solar and wind where it's sunny and windy.

You got a lot of sun here. Use it, you know, in places that make sense. It's a really, a very efficient use of the sun when you've got great sun. You know, you're in lower latitudes. You don't have many clouds. Winter doesn't happen much. Da-da-da-da. That's a pretty good... Use of sun and that use is called capacity factor.

So if I've got 100 units of sun and I can make it generate 30 units throughout the year, that's a 30% capacity factor. And that's pretty good for solar. Nuclear, 90% or more capacity factor. Nuclear is always on.

And a lot of other things, petrochemicals and all sorts of things that we use. fossil fuels for that most people don't know.

So let's separate again our thought of electricity and molecules. That's just the simplest form we can do, electricity, molecules. Electricity is used for quite a few things and more things now. We need it. Electrons are very useful things and electric motors are actually very efficient machines. More efficient than a combustion engine, the motor. The battery isn't.
