Episode notes
Scarcity Will Flip To Energy Abundance
- Energy scarcity today is temporary because factories for turbines and SMRs will flip supply into abundance in 7–9 years.
- Quantum-driven material breakthroughs will further boost solar efficiency and accelerate the transition to abundant clean power.
Buying A Million Valves To Avoid Shortages
- Jeff Markley bought every three-gigawatt generator left and then purchased a million valves to avoid supply shortages.
- That precaution turned valve manufacturing into a sudden unicorn opportunity.
Abundant Energy Rewires Global Health And Economy
- Abundant energy unlocks cheap desalination, vastly improves public health, and reduces infectious disease burdens.
- That cascade frees healthcare capacity and transforms food, transport, and geopolitics tied to fossil revenues.
