I just published Solving Climate Change by 2050: What Might a Prime Minister Greta Thunberg Celebrate by 2050? link.medium.com/KwR6PuvnWkb
Lots of potential magic out there: “Helion has a clear path to net electricity by 2024, and has a long-term goal of delivering electricity for 1 cent per kilowatt-hour. (!)” blog.samaltman.com/helion
via @NYTimes. “This is a huge breakthrough. It’s a big, big deal.”

What crazy stuff will you do when you have power for $0.01/kWh? We should be having dozens of engineering hackathons on this idea. It may be as equally transformative as cheap computing power has been. It is time to build - particularly stuff that uses (almost) free solar power.

There are likely less than 10,000 patients in US hospitals now who were fully vaccinated but sick with covid. Is it really too much to ask what vaccine they received, when vaxxed, their age and co-existing medical conditions?
via @NYTOpinion He nails it: “Achieving the scale of clean energy we need requires not only wind, solar and hydro, but also a carbon tax in every major industrial economy, nuclear power and natural gas as a bridge. If you oppose those, you’re not serious. nytimes.com/2021/10/05/opini…
It's not all about money but I'll be really happy if others get really, really rich in the course of solving climate change. chunkamui.medium.com/who-wil…
What might a future Greta Thunberg, when she is 47 and Prime Minister of Sweden in 2050, view as enough progress so she “dared to hope” we are doing "close to enough" on #ClimateCrisis? linkedin.com/pulse/solving-c…
Here's my latest at Forbes. Elon Musk and Tesla have a head start because EVs are critical for addressing climate change -- but EVs address only 8% of the overall carbon emissions problem. Plenty of room for others to deliver big, and win big.

Will the world be better, worse or about the same for our children (and their children) in 30 years? #futurehistory
Take a poll: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
I'd go for that. 2 conditions: paid for by Trump defense fund if result is not changed and done along with a full transparent audit of Trump finances both before and during term. Same logic. What do you think, @denniskneale?
Thanks!
“6 Laws Of Zero Will Shape Our Future. For The Better Or Worse Is Up To Us.” by @ChunkaMui
link.medium.com/jGnBjXEq49 a point of view worth reflecting. @ChunkaMui offers intriguing laws and I find that their combinatory power will be much greater and unleash profound shifts.
Six key drivers of humanity’s progress—computing, communications, information, energy, water and transportation—are headed toward zero cost. Will we use them wisely? linkedin.com/pulse/6-laws-ze… via @LinkedIn

Isn’t lower GDP inevitable if automation pushed the value of everything closer and closer to zero? And assuming UBI gets done, isn't that progress? #capitalism #automation @ChunkaMui forbes.com/sites/chunkamui/2…
Honored! Thanks.

Before our urgency dissipates yet again, we must commit some of our #COVID19 recovery dollars to future disaster preparation. Let's start with 2%. #future #strategy

Globally, $8T has already been committed towards COVID. In my latest article at Forbes, I write about how the strategies guiding those funds will shape our world—for better or worse—for generations to come. Let's consciously aim for the better.
