Polymath Mark Mills joins us again for a rousing discussion of what's ailing America when it comes to ensuring affordable and reliable energy.
Mark is putting the finishing touches on his new outfit - he's now the
Executive Director of the National Center for Energy Analytics. He joined us for Episode 118 to tell us about their first paper coming out about the deleterious effects of the SEC's new climate reporting requirements, and a whole lot more. Here are some more details:
3:50 - the needs for EV infrastructure
6:00 - the SEC's new regs (making my old pals at General Mills figure out how much CO2 is produced to make their Cheerios, for example)
9:30 - the effects of this kind of back-door legislation through regulation
11:50 - nothing exists without hydrocarbons
15:00 - the regulatory costs for manufacturers
21:40 - grid battery storage costs for given backup time periods (SHOCKING!)
25:30 - Germany goes all net zero and their electricity costs triple
27:15 - making the business environment friendly for manufacturing
30:00 - ROBOTS!
32:30 - humanoid robots in particular - why Mark is a fan
As with every time Mark visits us, this one is riveting and invigoratingly educational. Tune in for the whole thing!
