I haven’t listened to the interview yet, but I’ll just mention that I don’t think we have a power shortage problem in the world, we have an energy storage problem instead. If all nuclear and coal power plants ran at a 90% duty cycle let’s say, All of this energy could be dumped into batteries or even massive cement blocks (gravity-assisted power generation) that move up and down in tall skyscraper like structures. So when we have this onslaught of solar energy and wind energy what they do is they ratchet these concrete blocks way up high into the structure and as the demand grows later at night when everybody’s arriving home these block blocks start lowering down which causes the generators to spin the other direction and put power back into the grid. So I really don’t think we need to create anymore power plants around the world, we just need to have a come-to-Jesus and decide how the hell to save this power so we can use it outside of the duck curve
