Turning technology into products.

Mostly working on energy systems and CBDC.
If you are an average person, buy another.

It's helpful that @davidgerard.co.uk called out this change, but his conclusion only applies to people who do unusual things with the OS on their phone.

For the 99%, this makes you safer. If you lose the phone it blocks rollback attacks.

Flashlights (not candles). Smoke/carbon monoxide alarms. Knowing where the vents to your home are so you can clear them of snow. Do it all. We're being given so much time with this storm.

You cannot look at the science of climate impacts & believe their socio-economic effects can be managed if the world heats much over 2C.

So the science is being set aside for a few decades more of pretense and extraction, to the utter destruction of our children’s future.

We have the technologies to radically reduce fossil fuel use and the avoidable deaths it causes. Walkable neighborhoods. Electric trains, buses, cars and trucks. Electric heat pumps for space/water heating and air conditioning. Induction cooking. Clean power from wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, etc.

There's a larger issue I'm interested is solving.

There is essentially no monitoring or recording of electrical systems performance. There are a few isolated points, like smart meters, or some proprietary solar systems.

Making good decisions about energy systems design requires good data.

This is a weird conversation.

Are you concerned about SB-868?

You didn't answer the question.

Look at what the average American pays for an automobile. They can afford 100% EVs today. Heat pumps are cheap.

But your talking point gets economics backwards, doesn't reducing demand drive prices down?

Do you think more O&G will reduce costs for consumers?

How does rapidly switching to a lower cost solution "cost a lot of money"?

It will require some shift in capital investments, not necessarily more. Do you have any good sources for this?

If you're poking around looking at things that probably aren't true, you might also look at global oil demand. It's reported as going up steadily by, for example OPEC.
Or look at the EIA numbers for U.S. proven oil and gas reserves.

Are these numbers real, or are they input to drive the price?

Intelligent, engaged media would be great. The message should be: Follow the Epstein files.

Oil reserves are complicated. Impossible to measure, harder to predict. Value depends on many factors: cost to extract, refine, transport. It's a gambler's business.

Venezuela is high risk. No way to know.
