How to Decarbonize an Oil Company (for executives)
Oil companies face one of the most difficult transitions in business history. Here are some strategies they should consider.
Manufactured Pre-fabricated Nuclear
The nuclear industry needs an honest effort in manufactured SMRs. Shipyards can be the solution.
Power Reliability Cyber Sensing
Using IP addresses to detect building-level power outages across the entire globe and begin building a more resilient grid.
V2V Wireless EV Charging
A standardized wireless charging interface for EVs that eliminates range anxiety and the need to stop for charging altogether.
Nuclear Plants Should Stop Making Power for the Grid
Since power markets and governments are not providing sufficient revenue to keep many nuclear plants open and the increasing adoption of wind and solar will only exacerbate this problem, merchant nuclear plants should focus on serving co-located industry rather than the grid. In fact, it may be the most economic way to decarbonize industry and balance a renewable grid.
How To Do Climate Tech Venture Investing Right: Pitfalls and Opportunities
With the recent boom in ESG investment appetite at all stages of capital, VCs have an opportunity to accelerate technologies and business models that can scale quickly in spite of lagging government carbon policies. However, placing the wrong bets will still lead to 2008-style cleantech busts if eager investors and idealistic entrepreneurs do not recognize practical industry constraints.
A Rating Agency for Rate Cases
Accelerating the electrification and decarbonization transition while keeping it affordable and politically tenable means we need an ESG scoring system that investors and regulators trust.
A Contrarian Case for Fusion
What is the rationale behind the hundreds of millions of dollars suddenly pouring into nuclear fusion development? How does nuclear fusion become the multi-billion dollar unicorn that investors, oil companies, and society need it to be?
