A serious question to those who think clean energy is dumb. I want to 10x energy so humans can experience radical abundance. How do you do that with fossil fuels and manage the following: - supply limits - pollution - atmospheric & ocean effects

China didn’t build all this solar for the purpose of lowering emissions. They’re tapping the largest energy resource on Earth. Emissions reductions are a side effect.

Rather than wait for winter, Rainmaker Technology Corporation said "Why don't we go to Tierra del Fuego?" And within 60 days, we built and shipped 2000 lbs of new hardware to test in Patagonian winter at the "end of the world" unlocking year-round wintertime testing Next we'll cut down 60 days

Our finance guy is so forensic that when I told him one of our vendors might have died, he responded: "can't find any obituaries"

Human intuition for volume is poor. The difference in this photo is 1.5 million acre-feet. California's largest desal plant produces 56k acre-feet per year (1.6% of this dam when full). There is no water abundance without more rain and snow.

Iran is a cool example of how mountains influence rain. Moist air from the Caspian condenses on the northern side of the mountains, creating a rain shadow to the south. The resulting greenbelt is 5% of Iran's land, but 35% of its rainfall and 90% of its rice production.

Concerns about dispersing silver iodide (an insoluble, non-toxic compound) into clouds are understandable But few realize how little is actually used Just two sugarcubes' worth can produce enough water to meet an American's LIFETIME direct water use
