Yeah that’s the guy. He’s made some brilliant calls already. I looked at his list two months ago. It was mostly energy and infrastructure companies. Makes perfect sense. I have not looked this list lately. You can download his paper.

There was a suggested vid this morning on the YT app, an energy company that turned out to be Australian. I think that’s on the list too.

I asked grok the other day what start ups have said they could in the future produce electricity for .01@kwh . Grok gave a list of 5 companies. Then I asked by how much their development would be accelerated with digital twin product design and manufacturing. Grok answered that most of them could be producing electricity at .01 @ kWh within a year or two.

.01@kwh roughly speaking changes civilization about as much as the falling cost of compute.

Good point. It’ll mean dragging a series of global warming hoaxters out into the desert, at night, then filling in the hole.

out into the desert,

imho one of the by products of cheaper energy will be the ability to make desalinated seawater at a cost cheap enough—including the cost of piping freshwater inland 1000 miles— to make desert farming anywhere in the world profitable.

basically the habitable size of earth will double.

that will bury the ideas of the malthusian population bomb people and give people on earth the runway needed to develop warp drive or faster than light travel speeds needed to spread people out into the galaxy.

that’s the full tree. We’ll see the seed next year.
