If you look at panel prices (less than 0.15 USD/w) battery price (less than 80 usd/kWh, total equipment for 10 kw installation less than 5000 USD. Receipts available) and the amount of subsidies, tax brakes and grid upgrades governments give to big companies to provide energy to homes at an ever increasing prices and compare it with how much it will cost governments to provide 100% financing for all required renewable energy equipment , so that families will have all energy required at zero cost forever , then you will find that the second option (financing the families) is much cheaper and it gives not only abundance but also freedom to the individual person. This option requires no talk of UBI, which is promoted, because every family will be able to have everything it requires including manufacturing capabilities . This distributed energy enhances the country's security (see drone hits in Russia) and doesn't require grid upgrades. I understand this podcast is about AI which is going to take many jobs from people. The solution of this is to enable people having energy and produce with the help of AI abundance. Please present this view as well
Disappointed in 2 things on this show (tho I enjoyed it as always and have listened to all episodes). 1) your summary at the end was kind of just naming the most obvious players. Would have been for more interesting (or another Indy dark horse video) to make some predictions that are not clearly obvious. 2) you saying we should slow AI down. It’s just silly. We’re in a global race and we’re no where near needing to worry about AGI despite Elons hyperbole
